Item Description

50 years ago last Fall, Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith crafted a comic that is still hailed as one of the best series ever -- Marvel's CONAN the BARBARIAN. It sprang up on newsstand shelves as something entirely different from all the tights and capes next to it, and acclaim and enthusiasm built like an avalanche! Robert E. Howard had created CONAN in the 1930s, and there had even been a Mexican CONAN comic book in the 1950s, but it took Marvel, Thomas and Windsor-Smith to create a true sensation!

CONAN THE BARBARIAN #6 is set in the pseudo-historical Hyborian Age and gives us "Devil-Wings Over Shadizar" - adapted by Roy Thomas and Barry Smith from themes in Robert E. Howard's pulp oeuvre.

In the wicked city of Shadizar, Conan meets the beautiful waitress Jenna. She is kidnapped by religious fanatics and taken to be sacrificed to the mysterious Night God. The god - which no-one has ever seen - is revealed to be a gigantic bat-like creature. Conan saves Jenna from the bat creature, while Jenna in her turn saves Conan from the priestess Hajii. Jenna then steals all of Conan's gold and disappears . . . to reemerge two issues later!

This 50 year-old copy of CONAN THE BARBARIAN #6 is in exceptionally nice condition - no stress lines, bent corners or toning - the cover still has its gloss and the pages are near-white with bright colors. Overstreet values an 8.0 VF copy at $38 -- however, we think you'll enjoy saving a bit of coin and we're parting with it for just $28, coupled with our L•O•W shipping!
