BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Conan the Barbarian King-Size Special #1, Marvel Comics (1973)
Marvel Comics Group Conan the Barbarian King-Size Special issue number 1, published in 1973. This publication serves as the first annual in the series and is noted as a Special Academy Award Issue on the cover. The cover illustration features a dynamic battle scene by artist Barry Windsor-Smith, whose name appears in a stylized purple signature emblem in the lower right corner. The cover also includes the Marvel Comics Group branding, a 35-cent price point, and promotional text stating the issue contains two of the greatest Conan sagas ever told. The back cover features a full-page color advertisement for the Junior Sales Club of America, including a business reply mail section addressed to Springfield, Massachusetts.
Condition report:
This comic is in raw, ungraded condition. The front cover retains vibrant colors and original gloss, though several minor color-breaking stress lines are visible along the spine. There is light blunting at the corners and minor edge wear consistent with handled vintage comics. The back cover shows minor off-white aging to the paper but remains clean and free of major defects. The cover is firmly attached at both staples. No significant creases, tears, or stains were observed during inspection.
