The SAVAGE SWORD Of CONAN REFORGED #4...

CONAN characters copyright CPI

Still on the theme of Conan, thought I'd show you some images from the latest issue, newly arrived today, Crivvies.  This was a difficult ish to procure for some reason, as the first seller I advance-ordered it from eventually said his source wasn't able to supply him with sufficient numbers to fulfil his orders, so I had to buy it from elsewhere.  Regarding the cover (variant B), I've had a poster of this Neal Adams illo on one of my walls since around 1975*, which came free in #1 of the UK weekly SSOC (not to be confused with the later UK monthly edition).  I may well call it quits with this issue, given the difficulty in obtaining it, though it's a real treat to see these formerly b&w tales sensitively coloured for a new (and not-so-new) readership.

If you have any thoughts on these images being 'colourised' then feel free to share.  After all, it's always good to get 'mail'.  (McS - did you hear?  I said Neal Adams!)

(*To be more precise, it's a replacement I acquired around '84 or '85, the original being damaged in '83, so it's still pretty ancient.)
