"WELL, KULL, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF OUR PICTISH ENTERTAINMENTS?"

NOTE: I didn't know which shade of skin I liked best, so here's two shades of 'em, and I'll let the rest of you decide which is which.

"In the midnight sky above Valusia's city of wonders, a golden moon has reached its zenith. Yet, on a hill outside the city, it is the tiger-glare of blazing torches which turns the night to day, and holds at bay the phantom terrors of... THE SHADOW KINGDOM."

STILL THE PINNACLE IN '80s SWORD & SORCERY COVER ART -- INTO SERPENTINE DARKNESS.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on bi-monthly covers of "KULL" [the Conqueror] Vol. 3 #'s 9 & 10. April & June, 1985. Marvel Comics. Artwork by Barry Windsor-Smith.

Anyway, I'm sad to say that my "Snake-Man" cover was recently damaged by the rain last week, but now it's even more "vintage" and ancient-looking than ever before, I guess, like a decrepit, weather-beaten tome from the Hyborian Age, if you will. I'm over it, I guess, and the cover still looks pretty great, not gonna lie -- it doesn't look to be deteriorating yet!
