Comment

Une des histoires tirées de la nouvelle de Robert E. Howard et Lin Carter.
Sans nulle doute une de mes histoires préférée, et une période que j'adore de la part de Buscema.
On retrouve les éléments classiques constitutifs d'aventures de Conan réussies : des batailles titanesques, des créatures inattendues, du fantastique...
J'ai une profonde affection pour ce style initial entre Big John et son encreur Philippin, qui l'accompagnera pendant plusieurs décennies.
