Conan the Barbarian v1 #8, 1971 - Despite the challenge of using four figures, Barry Smith's cover is elegantly balanced. The girl's face appears to have been redrawn by John Romita, who often modified bronze age covers for the sake of consistency. The inside story pages are rife with small panels, but Smith seems to relish detailing them all. His skeletal soldiers are especially eerie, from their waking moments to their disintegration in the light of day (see interior page below). This is 8 of 20 Conan the Barbarian issues by Smith. /// Smith gallery
