And now, to please your palpitating orbs, here are another 16 painted covers from Marvel's reprint series from around 40 years ago, Conan Saga. They're all good, but check out #48, illustrated by Nestor Redondo, which is the first painting (as far as I recall) I've seen by Nestor, as opposed to b&w line artwork. Didn't he do well?!
However, what I'd actually like to know is why real women don't look that good in my day-to-day life, 'cos most of the ones I see wandering around my local shopping centre are total munters. There are a few exceptions of course, but they'd never give me a second look 'cos they're far too up themselves, the snooty lot. (Never mind, their loss.)
Anyway, now that I've endeared myself to all women out there (it's a gift), let's focus on these Marvel Masterpieces laid so conveniently before you cavortin' Crivs to drool over. I'm too kind to you all, I really am. Got a favourite or two? Then you know where the comments section is, so don't let it go to waste. (You don't use it, you'll lose it.)

I remember a number of those covers from the UK Conan monthly but the standout one for me is #36 which was the cover of UK SSOC #11 dated September 1978 containing The Tower Of The Elephant. It's a great cover but in the story itself there's no half-naked damsel in distress and the spider is much smaller.
I first saw most of these covers on the UK SSOC as well, CJ, though I think I also bought the US mag on occasions. Back in the mid-'80s onwards, it was good to see them again on Saga. My favourite covers are usually ones with the best looking burds on them. What can I say? I'm a dirty old man (to be said in a Harold Steptoe voice).
I take exception to you referring to your neighbourhood women as munters. Cheek. We can't all be good-looking like what you are.
Yes, I know. I'm so handsome - everybody says so.
