John Romita Conan (Times Two)!

Fellow blogger Mikeyboy was kind enough to hook us up with this very cool 1975(ish) pinup by none other than John Romita, Sr., which is yours for the taking for a mere $8500 (here)!

I see that John's son, John Romita, Jr., has had some Conan artwork published recently that's also worth a look...it's a variant cover for the 40th anniversary of the The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide!

Read all about it on Broken Frontier (here)!  Obviously, John Jr. has recreated this well known Barry Windsor Smith cover (Marvel's Conan the Barbarian #1)...

And just for fun, here's Barry's original artwork, featured on the cover of Marvelmania Magazine #2...

On the off chance that you're not familiar with this, notice the minor changes between this drawing and the John Verpoorten inked cover...namely Conan's sword, the straightened axe handle (lower left), and Conan's clearer complexion...

Thanks for thinking of us Mikeyboy!
