Conan the Barbarian (Vol. 1) #24 - The Song of Red Sonja - Fine+ - 1st cover and 2nd appearance of Red Sonja - Signed by Artist Barry - 1 Signed comic - 1973

Conan the Barbarian #24 (March 1973) – Signed by Barry Smith (later Barry Windsor-Smith)

Offered here is an original Marvel Comics Conan the Barbarian #24, published in March 1973 and featuring classic artwork by Barry Smith before he adopted the professional name Barry Windsor-Smith.

This copy contains an early Barry Smith autograph in blue ballpoint pen on the interior credits page. The signature appears beside the artist credit and was signed during the period when the artist was still using the name Barry Smith, making it particularly interesting for collectors of Barry Windsor-Smith and Conan memorabilia.

The signature style matches known examples of Barry Smith's early 1970s autograph and is consistent with signatures from the period before he adopted the Windsor surname.

The comic presents in Very Fine (assessed as Very Fine by an experienced comic dealer) with strong colours, good eye appeal and supple pages. Please examine the detailed photographs for your own assessment. The cover remains bright and attractive, making this a desirable example of a key early Conan issue.

Highlights:
• Original Marvel Comics publication from March 1973
• Signed by Barry Smith (later Barry Windsor-Smith)
• Early-period autograph using the "Barry Smith" signature
• Classic Barry Smith art, colouring and inking
• Red Sonja cover appearance
• Very Fine (VF) condition
• Complete and unrestored

An excellent opportunity to acquire a signed Bronze Age Conan comic with a scarce early Barry Smith autograph.
