Third image is what we got on the paperback cover of Conan The Avenger, but the watercolor and roughs show Conan lost an axe. This leaves Conan in the rare sitch of being bare-handed, and while his paws look like more than a match for any jar of pickles, I still wish the final painting had the axe

The Barrel-Chested Barbarian by Berni Wrightson
Another look at a whoisthisis by Berni. Just saw the first, but the wrinkly one has been on here forever. If you can lead me to a better image of it, please holla

Another In The Lower Depths by George Metzger
In the not-so-distant, I put up the first four, and folks said they hadnae seen em, so here's another one, from the fanzone Voice of Comicdom #14. I dig that the title is made from girders, and at the other end, a woman is hav'n her tenth forbidden child. I know a woman who's had 10, and she told me it just gets easier and easier, with the oldest ones help'n with parenting, errands, and chores

The Green Turtle by Jim Steranko
Yeah, Steranko has rendered a lotta great golden age heroes, but nothing compares to this guy. His cape alone is worth the price of admission. "Ten dollars gets you the whole seat, but you'll only need the edge!" Ah, Monster Truck rallies
The Invisible Girl by Jack Kirby
If I'm grok'n correctly, this is weirdly wunnerful. First is the 2nd printing of the Marvelmania Fantastic Four poster, with Sue Storm actually turn'n on (or off) her invisibilty. It also looks a lot like the time Jack colored it himself (second image) with Reed's boogered arm, but beautifully understated colors. Third is the first print'n, and it's always bugged me, with Reed's one sunburned cheek

The Scarlet Citadel? by Roy Krenkel
Dunno if this counts, but it is from the book Fantastic Worlds of Robert E. Howard, which Russ told me about in the wayback when I was grous'n about not find'n more than a title page rough for Roy's last hurrah, illustrating Howard's Scarlet Citadel. Apparently, I must obtain this tome and see what's what, cuz this looks like it's actually Hadon of Opar

Who Is This Is by Wally Wood
Course, I wanna see this biggerbetterfasterstronger, but I'm just as thirsty to know who wore a clock on his chest. My best guess right now is "Back at One Man"
