Free John Buscema Conan Portfolio Download!

Hail fellow Conan fans! Out of all the artists that have rendered the future king of Aquilonia, I have to say that I love John Buscema the best. So imagine my excitement when one of my all-time favorite blogs, Beware There's a Crosseyed Cyclops in My Basement, posted a cbr. version of the John Buscema Conan portfolio!

10 brilliant plates of crisp black and white Buscema goodness. I've already downloaded it and it's beautiful! You'll need the program Comical to view it, which I strongly suggest you have anyway.

Be sure to click on the Conan label on the Cyclops blog as well to get every single issue of Conan the Barbarian as well as many other Conan goodies!

Conan in France!

These Marvel Savage Sword reprints from France were brought to my attention by CROM! reader Xonan...I've seen them in my travels, and thought they were incredibly cool, but for some reason did not clue into the fact that the covers (with the exception of the first issue, a Neal Adams cover) are actually the inside artwork of the one and only John Buscema re-adapted in paintings!

Along with the corresponding interior panels (well, those that I could find), check out all of the covers from publisher Editions LUG's "Une Aventure De Conan", a 9 issue run from 1976-77!










A big thanks to Xonan for pointing this out, and to CROM! reader JBruel for the additional info!

More Conan in Brazil! Part 3!

A while back, CROM! reader Xonan was kind enough to mention that I should check out the French reworked covers from "éditions LUG"…well I’ve been looking at those covers frequently over the last couple of years (cause there's something about them that is just so damn awesome), but STILL haven’t gotten around to putting a post together…that said, here are some covers that are similar in nature – Marvel Conan artwork colored by Brazilian artists!

First up, it’s a few covers from A Espada Selvagem de Conan O Bárbaro ("The Savage Sword of Conan the Barbarian") published by Editora Abril, featuring the brilliant artwork of Barry Windsor Smith combined with the coloring of one Donizeti Amorim, along with the Marvel equivalent artwork...




And here’s a couple more by Amorim, featuring the artwork of Gil Kane



Lastly, although not the best quality scans, feast your eyeballs on these three covers from Editora Mythos’ Conan, O Bárbaro ("Conan the Barbarian") along with their Marvel equivalents, featuring the fantabulous artwork of the master, John Buscema, and digitally painted by Brazilian Richard Riamonde...
