Cool!  Here the published cover.  Compare the two and see what alterations John Romita ended up doing.

The revisions to the Conan cover are baffling.  Kirby’s version was dynamic and dramatic but still clean - was there some concern Conan was off-model?  If so, I’m not seeing it.  Those pencils are simply perfect.

I see that in many books that Kirky was writer/artist, his name was promoted.

I wonder if that was part of his terms in returning to Marvel in the 70s?
