Item Description
Here are two issues of CONAN THE BARBARIAN from the Fall of 1973, a little over 2 years after artist Barry-Windsor Smith (using just the name 'Barry Smith' at the time) and writer Roy Thomas together birthed the 'Conan Sensation' of the early 70s . . . and in those 2 years, CONAN became one of Marvel's biggest stars!CONAN THE BARBARIAN was rolling along in 1973 as one of MARVEL's top-selling titles, on the strength of Roy Thomas' adaptations of Robert E. Howard's tales of the Cimmerian, and the evocative art of illustrator Barry Smith in the first 24 issues. But here, in these issues from 1973, we see the changing of the Old Guard, when John Buscema took over the penciling duties from Barry Windsor-Smith and continued his amazing and unbroken string of illustrating 166 consecutive issues!!
Inside the cover by Gil Kane and Ernie Chua, issue #30 gives us "The Hand of Nergal!", a story from when CONAN fought as part of the Turanian Army, against not only insurgents, but evil wizards and bat-monsters, with a beautiful woman as an ally!
In #31, Roy Thomas adapts an L. Sprague DeCamp tale and presents it here as "The Shadow in the Tomb!". It tells of CONAN being held captive in a cave by the ruthless Hill-Men, and emerges as the Turanian champion of his comrades to battle the HILL-MEN's most ferocious warrior for their freedom!
These two 51 year-old copies of CONAN THE BARBARIAN are in very nice condition - no stress lines, creases or toning - the cover still has its gloss and the pages are near-white with bright colors. The Overstreet Price Guide values this 8.0 VF pair at $24 -- however, we think you'll enjoy saving a bit of coin and we're parting with them for just $14, coupled with our customary L•O•W shipping!
And any additional purchases are added to your order FREE of shipping costs!
If you're in the mood for a couple of rip-roaring Hyborean adventures, here's your ticket!
