Conan the Barbarian #40 - misattributed Frank Brunner cover
Conan the Barbarian #40, 1975 - No Frank Brunner cover, despite what some comic book price guides say. The actual artist is Ernie Chua (also known as Ernie Chan), who also provides the inks to Rich Buckler's pencils inside. Brunner's one and only contribution to the series is the cover to Conan #17. Other artists in this issue include Ernie Chan (cover). See today's posts or more Conan the Barbarian or Brunner issues. See also this blog's Brunner checklist or Top 10 Brunner comics.

This may actually be a Rich Buckler pencilled cover under Chan inks. The Conan figure has a pose that looks very Kirbyesque, which would make sense if Buckler pencilled it. Romita also touched up Conan's face.
