For all too brief a time Neal Adams knocked out some outrageously exciting covers for Marvel's sword and sorcery brand. Here are the ones I could gather up.
Adams had a real flair for this kind of material, his sense of realism was particularly effective in translating the tough nature of these adventures. In particular is art on "Curse of the Golden Skull" stands out from those early days when Marvel still had the Conan license.
Here's a vigorous Adams illustration for a Supergraphics Portfolio. Other artists featured within are Barry Windsor-Smith, Vaughn Bode, and Howard Chaykin, along with Supergraphics boss Jim Steranko.
Here are sonic Conan the Barbarian treats. Above is the cover to the Power Records. The Neal Adams cover is outstanding, and the stories are a lot of fun.
This album features four Conan adventures. This link will take you to them.
As it turns out Power Records also produced "Crawler in the Mists" as a 45 single. Here's a link to this one along with the full comic book which came along with it.
The artwork is some cool Neal Adams with a lot of help from the Crusty Bunkers over the layouts of Big John Buscema.
This Post is a Revised Dojo Classic.
