Conan the Barbarian v1 #20, 1972 - Sneaking into a holy temple to recover the Turnanian's man-god, Conan runs afoul of his devilish guardian. Barry Smith's cover seems oddly composed with its side-view approach and the hound partially cropped out of frame. His interior story more than compensates, though, with its superb splash of soldiers re-boarding their warships. Panels are generally small but carefully designed and drawn. Smith is at his best on the two-page epilogue (see interior page below) where the open panels and narration suggest a more sophisticated, literary tone. This is 18 of 22 Conan the Barbarian issues by Smith. ///Smith gallery
