Savage Sword of Conan #29 - non-attributed Neal Adams, John Byrne art
Savage Sword of Conan #29 Savage Sword of Conan v1 #29, 1978 - Accompanying the main Conan feature, a handful of single page portraits by Bruce Patterson help fill in the remainder of the issue. One stands out above the rest: a Red Sonja page superbly finished by Neal Adams. Also contributing to this issue is John Byrne, who delivers a bold splash of Solomon Kane fending off a demon. The style suggests an earlier effort, finally seeing publication for the first time. Neither work is attributed in some comic book price guides. Other artists in this bronze age magazine include John Buscema, Gil Kane, Ralph Reese and Russ Heath. - - - - - - - - - -Savage Sword of Conan v1 = 6 Adams issues, 2 Byrne issues - - - - - - - - - - "Red Sonja" Adams pin-up inks (Bruce Patterson pencils) 1 page = *** Byrne pin-up pencils (Duffy Voland inks) 1 page = ** (All interiors in black and white) John Byrne Neal Adams - - - - - - - - - - Home / Adams / Byrne / Savage Sword of Conan / Marvelebay >this comicAdams >comics >books / Byrne >comics >books Savage Sword of Conan >comics+collectibles >books+magazines (This post has affiliate links which help support this blog)

Donald Duck Adventures #14 - Carl Barks reprint
Donald Duck Adventures #14 Donald Duck Adventures v1 #14, 1990 - A reprint of "Donald Duck and The Mummy's Ring" from Four Color v2 #29 resides in this issue. Drawn by Carl Barks, it's a passable alternative to the original in my opinion. - - - - - - - - - - Home / Barks / Donald Duck Adventuresebay >this comic Barks >comics >books Donald Duck >comics+collectibles >books >movies+tv >toys+games >clothing(This post has affiliate links which help support this blog)
