Here... I'll make it easier on you. Look at the dude running in just above Conan...
Is that.... is that Thor?! It sure as hell looks like him! We may have stumbled on to a little joke from Mr. Barry Windsor Smith!
Good eye, Acorndog!

Say... is that...?
My homeboy Greg (fellow gamer and bestower of my prized Conan Mego figure, aka "Acorndog") sent me this page from Conan #13, page 2. He noticed something interesting in the upper left-hand panel. Take a look for yourselves...

I just looked up that page on the recent Dark Horse reprints, and they changed his colours, so he no longer looks like Thor. He just looks like another person attacking Conan.
ReplyDeleteI guess they were aware of it and didn't want to cause trouble with Marvel.
This reminds of me something a friend of mine pointed out about "Young Frankenstein". In the scene where Igor meets Dr. Frankenstein at the railroad station and has him "walk this way," my friend pointed out that you can see Marty Feldman look at the camera and shrug at Gene Wilder, as if to say, "Look at what I made him do!"
ReplyDeleteLittle details like that are some of life's great joys. Thanks for pointing that out!
Great spot!
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm famous! Woot! Thanks to our host for his "get all the Conan comics for free" post a few weeks ago. Everyone here should jump on that!
