kidcolt Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I just sold my extra to a board member for $150 + shipping. I had a lot of interest in it. HOLY COW............I will have to list my extra one. These seem to be selling for decent money over the past 6 months. Some are selling below $100 but some are reaching crazy money. http://cgi.ebay.com/Conan-The-Frost-Giants-Daughter-by-Kurt-Busiek2005-HC_W0QQitemZ300211873356QQihZ020QQcategoryZ377QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Interesting..............I might have to look at selling my copy now. If I recall, there are a couple of stores that still might have them in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOXL Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 for Conan! I just picked up this great Barry Smith page last night: Before you get too excited, know that this isn't original art from Conan #1, but rather original production art from Conan #22, which reprinted Conan #1. The story goes that Conan #22 had been solicited and the cover was at the printers when half of the original art pages were lost in the mail. The Conan editors were left in a bind and instead of whipping out some quick material, they decided to reprint Conan #1. To do this, they pasted high quality photostats of issue #1 on art boards and changed the bottom text here and there. A lot of these photostat pages were recently up on eBay and I lucked into getting this one. This is the second page of the book, which happens to be the first story page (the first page was a pinup) with a very badass intro to our favorite Cimmerian. This is probably the closest I'll ever come to owning a real BWS page and it'll look great in a frame! -Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theagenes Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 This thread needs to resurrected! Here is a fun little $5 pick-up off ebay. In the late 40's Avon started reprinting a number of old Weird Tales stories in it's Avon Fantasy Reader series edited by Donald Wollheim (it's a digest-sized pulp). Several REH stories were reprinted in the series, such as "A Witch Shall be Born" as you can see here. Once again we have the Greco-Roman looking Conan that was popular with some artists in the pre-Frazetta days - a look that REH himself hated. BTW,The Lovecraft story in this one is "The Statement of Randolph Carter." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
