Conan the Barbarian #17

Collection: Conan the Barbarian CGC 9.8 by Barry Windsor-Smith

A great copy on pure white pages that has been close to perfectly centered. I do have another unread copy in similar quality (should be rated at 9.6 or better) waiting to be shipped to CGC. So maybe it was silly of me to purchase number 17 in 9.8 WP - but again, better safe than sorry :-)

This book is also quite special, since it was the first Conan the Barbarian book to be drawn by the famous artist Gil Kane (although Kane did draw the cover of Conan the Barbarian #12), who had been interested in Conan for nearly a decade. According to Wikipedia (Marts 2012):

"Sometime in the late 1960s, Kane temporarily acquired the publishing rights to Robert E. Howard's pulp magazine barbarian, Conan, with the intent of reviving the character in a magazine format, à la Savage. However, he was unable to gain financing for the project, and the rights reverted to the Howard estate. When Marvel Comics licensed the character in 1970, writer Roy Thomas initially considered having either Kane or John Buscema draw the comic book, and Kane actively campaigned for the assignment, but editor Lee considered Kane too valuable as the company's premiere cover artist to allow him to devote large amounts of time to a commercially uncertain project. Kane would later provide art for the Conan comic book, which by then was one of Marvel's hits.

[...]

Kane received numerous awards over the years, including the 1971, 1972, and 1975 National Cartoonists Society Awards for Best Story Comic Book, and the group's Story Comic Strip Award for 1977 for Star Hawks. He also received the comic book industry's Shazam Award for Special Recognition in 1971 "for Blackmark, his paperback comics novel". Kane was named to both the Eisner Award Hall of Fame and the Harvey Award Jack Kirby Hall of Fame in 1997."
