I'll pound you to a "Pulp" if you don't show off yours! 23 23

An underrated Conan story imo. Has a lot of fun elements - cannibals, intrigue, betrayal, evil wizard, naked dancing girl, giant wrestler who gives Conan a run for his money in a fight - good pulpy fun.

But the other WT 1/33 is Conan too, I think: Scarlet Citadel or Tower of Elephant. Buccaneers of Venus by the way got at least 3 great St John covs. My latest pickup, Tarzan the Untamed has St J cov + 4 inside plates & I scanned Port of Peril- the renamed OAK novel- which reprints one of the WT Buccaneers covers.

That's right, it's the 2nd appearance of Conan in "The Scarlet Citadel." Man, it would have been great if St. John had done a Conan cover.

 

Here's a trivia question - what was the only Robert E. Howard cover to be illustrated by John Allen St. John?

[Pat Calhoun]

oh I could find it- isn't it "The Jewel of Assurbanipal" (SP!) or something...?

Yep, "Fire of Asshurbanipal." (thumbs u

Fun St J story- legend has it that the below was to be the last ish of Fantastic Adventures but the St J dino cover coupled with a rousing caveman tale inside sold so well the mag continued for 12 more years, and if you consider the digest 'Fantastic' a rebirth (I do) tack on another dozen. is Oct 1940- the 'Return of Jongor' has a super St J cov that I'll scan tomorrow...

4/44- big fat wartime ish. Lancer reprinted the first two Jongors in mid-1960s when they were issuing the Conan series and other fantasy classics like Jack Vance's 'The Dying Earth' and L. Ron Hubbard's 'Slaves of Sleep'.

That is beautiful. I could use one of those. Anymore available?

[detective35]

That is the only known example of that original vintage poster in existence! Circa: 1935-36.

Wow.... that is awesome! It's a hand-printed silkscreen?

 

 

[detective35]

Yes,

 

The Silkscreen was then professionally mounted and framed using all conservation material.
