ABOUT THIS ORIGINAL

 

From a combination of pencils and layouts by Barry Windsor-Smith, inkers Sal Buscema and John Romita produced this page 19, from Conan the Barbarian 23, on heavy, 80 lb., vellum stock. The balloons and captions were then pasted over the finished art for printing.

The art is in excellent condition. Over a period of more than thirty years, Marvel's original rubber cement had separated the vellum from the white

 
backing board. Restoration has been performed at Windsor-Smith Studio to remount the page on acid-free 80lb. Bristol board. Panel 6 was apparently inked by John Romita and attached separately during the original 1972 production. There is some sparing white out on the figure of Conan in panel 3. The word balloons are replacements, photo copied directly from the published book, and attached with archival adhesive film.
