Owner's Description

10th Anniversary Issue! - Honestly - very cool. So, I have this only for the Red Sonja appearance on the cover - this is the only instance of Ernie Chan working on a cover with Red Sonja that is able to be slabbed. I don't know that there's a lot I can say about the Sonja image in this art with her just a greyscale drawing in the background - but the green on that vibrant chartreuse is really striking. So kudos to the colorist. And - in all honesty - she looks pretty good in that thumbnail image. OK - so I know Buscema is a lot of collectors' Conan artist of choice - but his stuff gets so much better when Ernie joins him. This image of Conan is some serious good draftsmanship. Conan's coloration jumps off of that background - and even though he's not standing on a surface in the image, his feet are planted. Maybe a little wide - but not overly so. My only complaint with his stance is his lowered shoulder, but with the point of the weapon trained on his imaginary opponent's face - there's no concern there either. While there isn't a lot to say about this image, and really there isn't enough Red Sonja for me to spew dozens of words on - it really is a solid cover.
Overall? Yeah - I probably would have spent seventy five cents on this beauty, right off of the spinner rack.
