    Cover art by Barry Windsor-Smith. First full Red Sonja story, The Song of Red Sonja, script by Roy Thomas, pencils by Barry Windsor-Smith; setting: Makkalet; Conan and Red Sonja start a bar-fight, bathe in a fountain, scale temple walls, break in and steal a snake-tiara, and fight a magical snake; at the end Sonja tricks Conan, and leaves for Pah-Disha; the Red Sonja story continues in Savage Sword of Conan 1. Final Windsor-Smith art on this title. The art in this issue (at least on page 8, and perhaps elsewhere) was altered without Windsor-Smith's approval. See Marvel Treasury Edition 15 or Savage Sword of Conan 82 for the original version. (The reprint in Conan Saga 8 contains the altered version). In the letter's column, Roy Thomas responds and announces Barry Smith's final departure as Conan the Barbarian artist; Incidentally, Roy's responses to R. Benitz and Keith Taylor are mistakenly transposed. 36 pgs. Cover price $0.20. Cover price $0.20. Grade: CGC 9.4 explanation of grade Condition: Used (collectible)
