1. Conan
is battling a horde of demons at the gates to a castle.
CAPTION
The truly skilled warrior attacks not the body nor the
mind.
2. Conan
is inside the castle. He is walking down
the long throne room aisle. At the end
is a throne, with a shadowed individual sitting in it. From the outline we can tell that is female,
but that is it.
CAPTION
But the heart.
3. A
reaction shot of Conan. He is shocked as
he sees who is sitting on the throne.
CAPTION
Fortunately--
CONAN
By Crumm!
4. We
see the identity of the person on the throne.
It is Bêlit, Conan’s first true love.
However she does not look the same – she has been returned with black
magic. She smirks, evilly.
CAPTION (Bêlit)
--I know this heart well.
Hi Ben,
ReplyDeleteI really like this page. Nice progression through the panels.
Should the dialogue in p3 read Crom or is Crumm a thing too? (I haven't read much Conan)
I don't know much about Conan, but that was a great little reveal with the captions.
ReplyDeleteI've always dug Conan's strange relationships with woman and this tense little page is a perfect example of that. A man who can fight a castle of demons stopped dead by the woman who once held his heart. Slow clap for you sir.
ReplyDeleteYou really nail Belit well (I love Brian Wood's take on her, and I could totally see Becky Cloonan rocking this on the page). Nice piece.
ReplyDeleteI've not long finished reading Wood's first run on the character so I really dug this page.
ReplyDeleteGreat page turn/cliffhanger.
