If someone ask which is my favourite adventure comic and illustrator I would say: Savage Sword of Conan and John Buscema, which real name was Giovanne Natale Buscema. When I was a child I used to "stole" the comics of my Dad. He always tried to hidden from us, but children are terrible things and we found out all and we readed everything...
There was Tex and Zagor, but the first time I saw the savage man with the sword my eyes became brighter, I dont know which was the story but was Buscema... After I knew Barry Windsor Smith, another one I really love.
Today the illustrator of the comic is Tony De Zuniga, but his drawings remind too much of Smith, as they were a copy, not a original thing.
The black and white drawings made me feel as I was in another world, with all his strange shadows in every scene, as behing some tree or wall, there was a creature, monster or some other magic thing... Buscemas was inked by many artists, but no one was as Alfredo Alcala. He is the owner of the magic shadows I mentioned.
This is one of my favourite stories, A Witch is Born, and this is Conan fighting and the corpses falling at his feet...
The another one is "The Haunters of Castle Crimson" adapted from story the "Slave Princess" by Robert E. Howard.. And hoe could I forget? Roy Thomas was the writer who made the best adaptations... They were really the best ones: Thomas, Buscema and Alcala. I grew up with these guys
Now I shall leave you all, I have a long way to walk today... Maybe find something among the shadows.
