Owner's Description
Well, I already own a beautiful copy of this magazine in 9.6 WP, but hopefully this book will be a tiny bit better (yes, I know it is a bit silly upgrading, but who can say no to a beautiful 9.8 WP?).
This mag was the last of Savage Tales to feature Conan the Barbarian. Due to the huge success of the Conan stories in these books, Conan in magazine size from now on continued as "The Savage Sword of Conan the Barbarian". So the first 5 issues of Savages Tales featuring Conan primarily served a as bridge between "Conan the Barbarian" and the "The Savage Sword of Conan the Barbarian", and the latter magazine continued Savage Tales' orientation toward the more mature audience.
Conan stars in "The Secret of Skull River" (script by John Jakes and Roy Thomas, pencils by Jim Starlin, inks by Al Milgrom).
Reprints: Brak the Barbarian stars in "Spell of the Dragon" (script by Dan Adkins and John Jakes; pencils by Adkins and Val Mayerik; inks by Joe Sinnott; from Chamber of Chills 2).
Ka-Zar stars in "The Legend of the Lizard Men" (art by John Buscema; from Astonishing Tales 9). Tony DeZuniga illustration.
Neal Adams cover painting.
Cover price $0.75.
