Over 11 years ago, I put up the Usurper, but said none of the roughs I'd seen were my cupa. That just changed, when I saw this rough on the back of The Frazetta Sketchbook. But the cover still rules

Southpaw Super Villain by Jim Steranko
First is the best I have seen this one side of a slipcase cover for the upcom'n Marvel Creator Collection #2. Both sides are awesome collages from Steranko's work, but everyone showing them have these wonky angles that drive me nuts (I know, I know--that's a short trip!). Second image is the toptenteentunes cover that shows the baddie with his correct (right) dominance. Dunno why, but I've always been amazed at how flip'n a comic image changes people's grips

Conan On A Shelf by Barry Smith
First image is new on here, a beautiful print I obtained from a comic shop I worked at for a hot minute in the 80s. Much better print'n than the shelf stuff (second image), or the index illo in the fanzine Lollapaloosa #3 (third image), or even the last image, which I called Conan On A Horse a decade ago

Rad Ray Cannons by Gil Kane
Okay, here's an easy, breezy, lemon squeezy non-prize just wait'n for ya. The second cannon is from True magazine (see it in glorious wayback vision sometime), but where's the first cannon from? Hint: the operator of the first cannon is not only three times bigger than the troops on the second cannon, he's a super-genius
Traveler Fight Scene by Berni Wrightson
Noth'n new here, but we finally see the fight biggerbetterfasterstronger, and I'd be remiss to mention the unrealized movie, and not include my two favs
The OTHER Conan Blacklight by Barry Smith
Usually, when we're talk'n Conan blacklight, we're talk'n the last image, but I sure dig me some Frosty blacklight, too
