Thanks for the ...Lysdexicuss, <br />Tamfos, <br />and Chuck,<br /><br />Thanks for the comments! <br />This episode/story by Giordano is indeed a rare treat, in my opinion. At first glance, it is nicely done with solid art. At second reading, I can appreciate more and more Mr. Giordano's work and what he brought to the table. Sometimes artists like DG may be taken for granted, in that his work is competent, solid, and yet not overly flashy or outstanding compared to many artists whose individual styles were more, shall we say, attention-grabbing. May we all take the time to learn to appreciate each artist on their own merits, and not in comparison to one another, like apples and oranges.<br /><br />Like I mentioned, a closer look at this story, in retrospect, has brought it (in my view) out of virtual obscurity, and elevated it to a place of honor as one of my favorite Conan tales of this particular era. Giordano did an absolutely fantastic job!<br /><br />Thanks for the great comments, friends!THE APOCOLYTEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13835797417138325832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4247085662383852584.post-14052751421116445962010-03-30T09:36:22.124-05:002010-03-30T09:36:22.124-05:00Incredible!

This was an issue that I had missed and I'm grateful for the chance to enjoy it now, plus it makes a fitting tribute.<br /><br />I also agree that his rendition of the mighty Cimmerian is worthy of the others who crafted his long run of Marvel Comics adventures.Chuck Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04529750105224374839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4247085662383852584.post-83991520219553872642010-03-30T08:03:25.572-05:002010-03-30T08:03:25.572-05:00Dick was a total sweetheart.

It was a sad day when he left DC, but not so sad as today.<br /><br />Thanks so much for this tribute to a wonderful guy.Tamfoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08007519945208611127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4247085662383852584.post-77947788693605037792010-03-29T19:46:11.923-05:002010-03-29T19:46:11.923-05:00Giordano was my favorite Neal Adams inker, and a f...Giordano was my favorite Neal Adams inker, and a fine pencil-pusher in his own right. These Savage Sword issues are new to my eyes, as I had a limited budget as a kid and opted to subscribe to Conan & King Conan, but not the mags.
