Thanks to other peoples help on the board I think I am gonna be able to get some copies now. Conan#1 is one of the first new comics I've wanted to pick up in awhile. So you can see I was a little bit dismayed when I went to the local comic store and they were sold out!

I do indeed still have copies available. And I would do five of them at $3.50 each plus shipping if you are interested.

Here's the variant cover for the 2nd printing of Conan #1...

 

Ugh - that cover is just plain awful - just compare it to any cover of Savage Sword of Conan and tell me I'm wrong. Campbell really ought to stick to Danger Girl - this cover looks like some POS from a Top Cow book. I was no big fan of the Linsner cover to the first printing, either. I agree with the reviewer from TheFourthRail.com who said that they should have just had Cary Nord do the covers.

Herein lies the problem, Gene - you are comparing it to Frazetta art and Campbell is no Frazetta; but in the same way, Frazetta is no Campbell either. If you were expecting Frazetta to do the 2nd print variant cover, then I understand why you'd be sorely disappointed.

Some folks actually prefer this cartoony artwork sorry.gif Campbell has been all over covers from Top Cow, to Devil's Due, Marvel, DC and now Dark Horse. I don't think Campbell is ever going back to interior art and at this point in his career is served best by doing variant covers from all publishers. I guess you didn't care for the Campbell variant covers on G. I Joe?

I'm not comparing it to Frazetta's art - I'm comparing it to anyone who drew Conan the way he was supposed to be drawn - realistic and heroic - whether it be Frazetta, BWS, Buscema, Kane, Kaluta, Boris, Norem, Isherwood, etc. etc. Conan is an iconic character and deserves better than to be drawn in some quasi-manga cartoony style that looks like it's being marketed to Japanese schoolgirls and teenage fanboys. Campbell's covers on ASM I don't mind. Campbell drawing the ugliest face on Conan that I have ever seen (runner-up is the not-as-bad, but still bad Linsner cover), combined with horrible anatomical proportions and two girls that look like they came out of a Mad Magazine Conan parody - that I do mind. A lot.

 

I own the 1st 3 GI Joe TPBs with Campbell covers - those covers are truly some of the ugliest artwork I have ever seen.
