Have you ever...






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!
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 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...
Hail Fellow Conan Fans!
Check out this classic interview with the king of Conan artists, John Buscema, courtesy of our good friends of Diversions of a Groovy Kind! The Groovy Agent himself posted this along with some sweet black and white Conan art by Buscema from Savage Sword of Conan. Swing by there to see it in all its Hyborian glory!
