This issue belongs to a period when Conan surged in popularity, capturing both arthouse and mainstream comic audiences. Crafted with a vibrant palette and intricate linework, it's printed on paper typical of the era. Light wear along the edges suggests it has been handled, but not excessively so. Condition is 'very good,' adding modest value on the collector's market — estimated between $50 to $150. Despite its specialized appeal, Conan's legacy keeps it a sought-after find. Keep enjoying this piece of barbarian nostalgia!
