He's Valerius, a secondary character in the story, the captive queen's loyal captain of the guard who carries her to safety while the monster lumbers out behind them. Conan rides in from the wings with an outlaw army. There have been many questionable and baffling renderings of Conan, but in fairness to the AVR artist, this wasn't one of them.Fred Blosserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07307848103704970189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-48967156077750070292010-01-20T10:19:04.410-08:002010-01-20T10:19:04.410-08:00I have read it theorized that Conan and other warr...I have read it theorized that Conan and other warriors like him would not have worn their hair long enough for an enemy to grab hold of it in a close fight.

Regardless of what he looked like on the cover, tho, I bet this issue is pretty valuable considering everything.Laurie Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10429604692700662254noreply@blogger.com
