Billy Graham was a really cool artist and underrated. he would turn up everywhere back in the day, but never gets discussed a lot. I wonder if it was sharing a name with two more well known public figures? Preacher Billy Graham was very active in those days and while I never once considered he might be drawing comics in my ignorant youth I remember pondering the possibility if it might be the Wrestler Billy Graham working a sideline as an artist. He was art director for Warren!

That's worthy of Comic art Hall of Fame in my book!

A different take on Conan from artist Michael Nally as an illustration for DeCamp and Carter's story "Shadows in the Skull" published in Fantastic Stories February 1975 issue.

Big John should've added that massive 'stache

Big John should've added that massive 'stache No.
Not since Steve Austin grew one for one season have I seen a more odious moustache.

Buscema and Chan are probably the version of Conan my mind envisions anytime I read a Conan story.

Likewise, Grim Wanderer. A different take on Conan from artist Michael Nally as an illustration for DeCamp and Carter's story "Shadows in the Skull" published in Fantastic Stories February 1975 issue. Conan as an older Asian gentleman...interesting!

Conan by Greg Manchess. Description of Conan found in Robert E. Howard's The Black Stranger: The stranger was as tall as either of the freebooters, and more powerfully built than either, yet for all his size he moved with pantherish suppleness in his high, flaring-topped boots. His thighs were cased in close-fitting breeches of white silk, his wide-skirted sky-blue coat open to reveal an open-necked white silken shirt beneath, and the scarlet sash that girdled his waist. There were silver acorn-shaped buttons on the coat, and it was adorned with gilt-worked cuffs and pocket-flaps, and a satin collar. A lacquered hat completed a costume obsolete by nearly a hundred years. A heavy cutlass hung at the wearer’s hip.P.140, Robert E. Howard's Conan of Cimmeria, Vol.3, Wandering Star/Del Rey 2009
