Owner's Description
"Devil-Wings over Shadizar!" This is one of those amazing covers where nobody talks - and we all know how much I love those. And we've got the sweetest looking bat creature (is it a batmobile?) and two damsels, albeit only one damsel in distress in their obligatory bikini top. The sheer amount of detail in the bat's fur is really engaging. Conan's body language, on the other hand, feels a little over-the-top ~ but I get what BWS is trying to depict here with the twisting of the body and the huge thrust to come (I said thrust). Little dudes on the ground provide an excellent sense of height and the danger associated with what is going on and the flowing skirts really show of the speed of the batmobile. I am a little torn about the title. I feel like white letters was too much - there's too much contrast. Maybe goldenrod? or even the same blue as the background. It really does disrupt the flow of the composition. On a final note, having the torch and the woman in front of the masthead is a really nice touch and provides real depth to the image.
Overall? are you kidding? this thing is just sweet. Maybe not my favorite of the run, but certainly still an awesome cover all around. 100% would buy this off the cover rack based solely on the cover art.
