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.
