Probably the coolest cover I have ever seen...too bad it's not a comic

[october]

Came across this on the 'net and was blown away. If this were the cover to a comic it would shoot to the top of my want list. As is, I am still going to hunt down a copy even though I don't collect or know anything about vintage paperbacks. Anyone on here buy vintage paperbacks? I would think there would be a great deal of crossover appeal from comics.

You've got some good taste there.

That is one of the Frazetta covers.

 

If you want to see some more of the covers from the conan paperbacks, check this site http://www.geocities.com/tylisaari/conan.html

 

Sorry, I haven't updated it in years though.

Cool site, I will have to look through it all. I knew it was a Frazetta cover, he did some great, great stuff. I especially like the covers to Famous Funnies 213 and Weird Science-Fantasy 29.

I have a copy!

[precodekeith]

Tay, cool site!

 

I used to actively collect REH material myself. I thought the Baen editions that came out in 95 or so were a blessing, mainly because even though the Conan tales attracted me initially to REH for many years, I eventually became more of a fan of his "weird" stories as exemplified in "Beyond the Borders."

 

October - you shouldn't have much trouble finding an edition with this cover, but of course the Lancer editions are a little tougher than the Ace.

 

I have had a nice poster of this Frazetta piece hanging on my wall for many years now....

Fire...ya got good taste!

 

Question I have is.. who owns that piece of art now? Is that info listed on the link posted?

That brings back memories - I read all the Conan books when I was a teenager because of the great Frazetta covers. Dog eared and long gone by now. Weren't there prints or a portfolio of all of them put out back in the 70s?

I happen to live only a couple of miles from Frazetta himself. He has a museum here in PA which his family runs (he's not doing well physically after his stroke).

The Frazetta Conan paperbacks are pretty plentiful. I picked up about 40 off ebay within the past six months. They are relatively inexpensive so do a quick search. I was fortunate enough to share a cup of coffee with Frank a few months ago. He looks and feels great (despite a few strokes).

BTW, his birthday will be in a few weeks (Feb 9, I believe)

Frazetta is great......

 

The Conan books only held minor appeal to me, but I would buy them mainly to look at the covers.

Sweet links guys... Interesting images to look at over the AM coffee

[hobbes]

Love that cover. My son gave me "Conan the Adventurer" and "Conan of the Isles" for Christmas. Both are from Ace books. "Conan the Adventurer" has a Frazetta cover and "Conan of the Isles" has a Boris cover. He picked them up at a local used book store. He also found a copy of "King Kull" from Lancer books which has a cover painting by Roy G. Krenkel.

Frazetta freakin' rocks!!!

[scourge456789-migration]

I thought Frazetta kicked the bucket,..no ? Yes,..it is a sweeeet piece,...I think Burkey has the original art to it ?

WHAT? No, Frank is still alive. At least last time I checked, which was December 2004.

Those sci-fi type vintage pbs from the 70s are usually plentiful at many bigger used bookstores and mostly in vg/fine or better (which is higher grade in paperback collecting).
