Barry Windsor-Smith has to be one of our most respected comics artists and his run in the early 70s depicting Robert E Howard’s great barbarian hero Conan (teamed with the equally legendary Roy Thomas) still stands as a real high point of fantasy art; actually his art on Conan is still pretty much the benchmark for comics depictions of Conan. And arriving on the shelves this very day the rather lovely looking first hardback collection from Dark Horse of Barry and Roy’s Conan, in a very attractive binding, cleaned up, re-mastered and using the original colour palette, collecting the first half of Barry’s run on the Barbarian. Fabulous.
