Savage Sword of Conan #23, October 1977
Here’s a gorgeous and splashy Frank Thorne washtone page from a terrific Red Sonja story published in the black and white Savage Sword of Conan magazine.
Thorne is one of those artists that I enjoyed as a kid but did not fully appreciate until much later. Excellent draftsmanship, storytelling, and an imaginative sense of design.
And, of course, beautiful women. That part was always obvious.
I acquired this page earlier this year at OAX. Paid too much for it.
But not sorry about it.
