Roll up, roll up, Crivvies, for the fourth and final part of Conan Saga Cover Gallery, consisting of 16 astounding pieces of painted artwork for your attention and appreciation. There were 97 issues of this particular series, though I have only the first 64 of them, meaning you're going to have to wait until I buy the remaining 33 - if I ever do (which is doubtful) - or look them up on eBay to see what you're missing.
There are some exquisitely rendered pieces of artwork here and I have no hesitation in saying that the majority of them wouldn't look out-of-place in some prestigious gallery or museum. (Hey, I've seen far worse in my time.)
Anyway, got a favourite or three? Then be sure to let your fellow Criv-Kids know which and why. It's no fun if you don't join in so give your typing fingers a workout now!
Everyone of those covers are wonderful my personal favourites are issues 50, 59 and 61 . Great stuff .
ReplyDeleteI notice at least another couple of Nestor Redondo covers among the 16, McS. What a great artist. 52 is probably my least favourite. I recall not liking it much when it was first used on SSOC.
DeleteRedondo was an amazing artist I wish he had drawn more comics at DC and Marvel. I think issue 60 is my least favourite along with 52 but that's a bit unfair as I think they are all excellent.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, McS - all excellent, but some more excellent than others.
DeleteThe only covers I recognise are #49 and #52 but they are all nice.
ReplyDeleteSo all three of us are agreed that they're all nice (or excellent, even), CJ? "I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony..." Oops, got carried away there.
