Owner's Description
This is the kind of cover I think Linsner does well - really two unrelated, overlapping images. The woman in the background as well as everything behind here could very well be a dream sequence or a ghost image - totally not in the same room as Conan. Conan, on the other hand, is very much in your face - down and dirty and in a strongly aggressive fighting pose. She's pretty, he's gripping, and the contrast in the background is visually interesting. I do like the heavily foreshortened look of the sword - but it took some time studying it to grasp what it was about the sword that was unsettling to me. And it is from my time as a stage combat instructor that it finally clicked - Conan has his sword indexed wrong. Judging by the knuckle on his index finger, if he swung the sword at me, the leading edge would be about 15 degrees off from the angle of his swing - making his attack ineffective.
Overall - she's got an excellent set of hangers, but he doesn't know how to use his sword.
