now THAT is how to draw a comic. Methinks BWS has been looking at some Japanese work there. Those opening four panels superimposed over the main page could come straight from Lone Wolf and Cub.

I think that's an optical illusion caused by the stiff robes, which make his shoulders look much broader. Try to imagine Conan's true dimensions under the robe.Don't you find the head a little too small for the body?
Hahaha! I've posted a link to that forum in Jason Momoa's thread but here it is again.

My favourites were always Buscema, Alcala and Norem. But there's a whole bunch of Incredible artists out there. I believe there's some thread with Conan artwork but we can paste some stuff here also if everyone agrees.
yes dogbrother, i saw it and that is what led me to start up this one! maybe we will uncover some they missed, like that Tower of the Elephant painting. wow.
here's one by crazy Bill Sienkiewicz.
"Did you deem yourself strong, because you were able to twist the heads off civilized folk, poor weaklings with muscles like rotten string? Hell! Break the neck of a wild Cimmerian bull before you call yourself strong. I did that, before I was a full-grown man...!" - Conan, in "Shadows in Zamboula", by Robert E. Howard
"... you speak of Venarium familiarly. Perhaps you were there?"
"I was," grunted [Conan]. "I was one of the horde that swarmed over the hills. I hadn't yet seen fifteen snows, but already my name was repeated about the council fires." - "Beyond the Black River", by Robert E. Howard

Some of these images brought back fond memories for me.....cheers. Especially Bill Sienkiewicz's, I think it was the last issue of Savage Sword of Conan or a anniversary one?

?I do not accept as matter of belief certain things in this history, or rather fiction; for some things are diabolical superstitions, some are poetical inventions, some have the semblance of truth, some have not; and some are meant for the entertainment of fools.? Book of Leinster ? 12th century
