Another Buccaneer by Frank Frazetta

Haven't seen another version in a while (check out the waybacks) of my fav Fritz Conan

Iron Aron, Iron Ork, and Pow! by Wally Wood

First guy is from The King of the World, second guy is from The Wizard King (mox nix, as the brats useta say in Germany), and the third guy was a proposal for Warren's attempt at Metal Hurlant.  The second guy looks just like what I envision Conan to be  (basically me with the hair I had in the seventies and the muscles I had in Cap'n's Dreams).  Weird thing is, when Wally did the Conan book cover in the wayback, it looked nothing like me (ooops! nothing like Conan)

Conan Button by Clyde Caldwell

Okay, seriously, I need, I want, I gotta have a better view of this button.  The fanzine ad said this was 3 inches in diameter and colored by Clyde, but all I got is this

Don't Stop Believ'n by Berni Wrightson



The panel from The Believer that I've found to be "all that and a cuppa joe" for the last half-century, first as it kinda/sorta appears in the iconic A Look Back (why I ever sold my first-print hardbound is beyond me, but I really bit myself in the foot, as John Crist would say), then as it was printed first in Vampirella #33, then what those in the know say is the way it shoulda been printed

Father's Day by Jack Kirby

If your step-dad was someone else's birth-dad, and your birth-dad was someone else's step-dad, you just might be a red-neck (er, I mean you just might be a new god).  As I said in the wayback (11 years ago), I would love to see this with Mike Royer inks

Miami Con by Neal Adams

Coupla subjects that Neal did ohsogreat, Green Lantern and Conan.  This is 1975, when his Conan print came out that was simply Georgeous.  You know,the one where a weary Conan in the rain is beckoning us to c'mere, taste my fury
