Very Cool piece Joe! It's a good thing that John Buscema worked on Conan so long, because there is a lot of material and you can find pages at reasonable prices. I've been tempted to pick one up for my collection, even tho I'm not a big fan of the character.
40 years ago my love affair with Modesty Blaise began. I started reading the strip in the Evening Standard just as one story was coming to an end. Next up was The Inca Trail which was the first complete story I read and remains one of my favourites to this day. Earlier this year I purchased a nice selection of original daily strips which I posted in this thread but was left wanting an example from Enric Romero's first run. Ideally I wanted to find a piece from The Inca Trail. Imagine my delight last week when I saw the title strip for sale, something I never expected to find! Got home today from a weekend away to find it waiting for me.

Isn't Romero's work just incredible? I have seen a couple of his pieces in person and was floored. I thought, what a talent and why haven't I heard of him before. Congrats!!!
Joe Staton's art is immediately recognizable. Love seeing him and Hilarie at cons and was finally able to get a piece from him. It was during his run on the GL books that I fell in love with this character.
Love how this piece turned out! All represent, but Terry Moore initially did a pencilled Widow for me a handful of years back and inked it over the weekend. It pops for me!
This piece is too much fun and has the kid in me grinning every time that I look at it. Art was done for a Hasbro Batman Clue Game (Which I had been completely unaware of and much now see if I can track down.) and the inked artwork was drawn on a vellum overlay, with the pencilled artwork on bristol underneath it. Quite a gem.
