Description
Bernie Wrightson Conan Try-Out Illustration Original Art (1970). Robert E. Howard's sinewy Cimmerian has seldom been portrayed as savagely as in this barbaric try-out illustration for the Conan feature by Wrightson, who was just getting started as a comics pro at the time. Roy Thomas recalled: "Bernie actually did up a couple of sample Conan drawings... I was more enthusiastic about his work than Stan [Lee] was, but it was Stan's decision. So I figured I'd wait and do something with Bernie later, and of course, we soon did that 'King Kull' story, 'The Skull of Silence,' which was lovely." This Bronze Age berserker, drawn in ink on Cratfint Duotone paper, has an overall size of 14" x 16", and the art is in Excellent condition. Signed and dated at the lower right.Auction Info
