Barry Windsor-Smith - Original Splash Page Art for Conan the Barbarian #14, page 18 (Marvel, 1971). From one of the greatest issues of Barry Windsor-Smith's run on Conan, this stunning splash page shows the Warrior-King of Cimmeria battling alongside Elric, the albino king of Melnibone, the creation of noted fantasist Michael Moorcock. The opportunity to team up Moorcock's refined, yet tragic, hero with Robert E. Howard's battling barbarian was too good for Roy Thomas to pass up, and the result was a two-issue extravaganza that has well earned its "classic" status. Pages from these issues rarely surface, as they are doggedly sought after and highly prized by collectors. This, then, is potentially a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a spectacular page from a legendary issue. The piece is in excellent condition, with an image area that measures approximately 10" x 14".
