Un argumento normalito de Thomas, pero Buscema no solo se entinta a si mismo, si no que también colorea. Con eso es suficiente para que valga la pena.

The story is pretty standard Conan-Roy Thomas fare. Which isn't a bad thing, I love a good Conan story. This one features John Buscema inking his own art, which is pretty rare. The art is pretty late-era Buscema and I think he really came into his own with this stuff. It seems pretty raw at times, but it just exudes energy. I can't get enough of how he draws people.

Highly recommended for Savage Sword fans. I would love to get my hands on a black-and-white copy, as I think the coloring is a bit of a let down. Or maybe Darkhorse should do a recoloring like it is doing in the Savage Sword magazine.

An illustrated graphic novel of an adventure of Conan, which is very well done as well as the artwork
