Cover art for The Buyer's Guide for Comic Fandom #168, Feb. 4, 1977 Conan

  

It's a one-of-a-kind piece depicting Conan captured by a barbarian queen. The drawing is approximately 12 inches by 15 inches. It's a pen and brush drawing in India ink Maheras illustrated on the back of a waste drafting print, similar to Bristol board, that he got in bulk during his high school senior year. A number of Maheras' illustrations from the 1970s were done on the blank backs of these waste prints because of its smooth texture and because the ink did not bleed.

This piece has never been offered for sale online before, and if it does not sell, it may not be offered again - at least not in the near future. You may not get another chance. If you are looking to speculate on comics art, and are looking for material you can quickly flip, then this piece is probably not for you. There is no wiggle room on this price.
