That Conan 2 cover asking price of $600 in 1979 is pretty shocking! Pretty sure that $600 is at least double what I would have estimated at that time. Of course, $600 doesn't seem like much today, but that was an astronomical number for a cover like this in '79. Lee B. and Twanj 2

But Barry Smith was so hot back then, and perhaps there would've been perception of scarcity since the number of Conan issues that he worked on was relatively small, and the number of covers even smaller. The Smith Conan run is one of the first runs I remember being broken out in price lists because of the artist. Lee B. and mtlevy1 2

You might be right, but I remember good Neal Adams Batman covers and Bernie Wrightson Swampthing covers going for about $300 (or less) in 1979, so those BWS Conan covers at $600 a pop feel extra pricey by comparison.
