Owner's Description
Several months ago I bought a similar Conan 23 book as a high-grade non-CGC offering. Unfortunately, living in Denmark, it is cumbersome and expensive to obtain CGC certifications, so when I found this book as 9.6 WP with perfect cover orientation (although the cover centering could be improved to the left), I could not help but to buy this book. Also, featuring the first Sonja story, it is a key issue - and 9.6WP with perfect cover orientation is in my opinion better than a 9.8 non-WP with skewed/tilted cover orientation...
Furthermore this book is a key issue containing the first appearance of Red Sonja. According to Wikipedia:
"Red Sonja, the She-Devil with a Sword, is a fictional character, a high fantasy sword and sorcery heroine created by Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith. She first appeared in the Marvel Comics's Conan the Barbarian #23 (February 1973).
Red Sonja has become the archetypical example of the fantasy figure of a fierce and stunningly beautiful female barbarian who typically wears armor resembling a bikini or lingerie".
