Savage Tales #3

2.  Savage Tales v1 #3 featuring Conan the Barbarian, 1973 - In the stunning conclusion of Robert E. Howard's "Red Nails", Conan and Valeria must survive the civil war between two underground factions. Like the previous issue, this chapter showcases some of Barry Smith's finest bronze age work. Every page and panel is carefully composed, filled with astonishing details. Textures, patterns and decorative flourishes abound, creating a bronze age masterpiece. This story was later reprinted in color in both Marvel Treasury Edition #4 and Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian #1. Aside from Smith's work, Frank Brunner, Jim Steranko and Al Williamson also contribute sketches and/or text illustrations. This issue also includes art by John Romita and Esteban Maroto. This is 1 of 1 Savage Tales issues by Brunner,  3 of 4 Savage Tales issues by Smith and 1 of 1 Savage Tales issues by Steranko. /// original Smith page / Top 10 Smith comics
