Description: How good will your collection look with this beauty in it? Penciled by John Buscema, the 'Michelangelo of the comics' as Stan Lee accurately described him. Buscema was the best and most consistently prolific dynamic drawer of figures and teller of stories ever to illustrate the Conan series. Usually the amazing dynamism of his incredible draughtsmanship was mangled and destroyed by clumsy pedestrian inking. But occasionally an inker up the task would do it justice, and even more occasionally, as seen here, a truly great inker of Alfredo Alcala's caliber would even set it in flight. (you were in a VERY tiny club if you could do that) Alcala's dark, brooding style of inking is reminiscent of the best old etchings, or elaborate medievel woodcuts from Europe. The perfect treatment for Conan's tales of sword and sorcery. And done without losing a breath of life from Buscema's stunning drawings. A rare treat indeed! Look at the scans, you'll see! I hate to give this up, but circumstance prevails. My loss is your gain. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have, enjoying a top spot in your collection. No Conan but beautiful women and spectacular figure drawing on this page. When will a page this good show up again? Will pages ever be drawn this well again? Bid now or kick yourself later! From Marvel Comics Savage Sword of Conan Vol. 1 number 36. Dec 1978. Shipping will be USPS priority mail very well packaged and insured.
