Owner's Description
Climbing out the window with a huge haul of loot, and leaving behind the (hopefully) satisfied hottie? Is there a more authentically Conan image? I mean, that's what I read as a teen. I love this cover image, both the nude & not-nude - the entire image area tells a story, from the window to the items in the interior, to the panther; it is rather exquisite. Conan is sporting a sword strapped to his back - I'm not going to go into that, since it is a barbarian cliché - but at least it is on the correct shoulder for a right handed fighter. Now the dagger - it's a bit of an odd beast, huh? He's holding it inverted, it appears to have nearly as much handle as blade (based on what I think is the tip of a crosspiece) and it is curved with either no edge or only a false edge on the back of the blade. That means it's for slashing. It is a poor stabbing dagger (not that it wont) and a terrible throwing dagger. Unless he just looted it, I can't see Conan carrying it as his short weapon of choice, and definitely not carrying it inverted - you want all the reach you can get when you slash.
Overall - my annoyance at the dagger is so insignificant to the total image, that I have to call this one a modern era win.
