| Found it on someone's myspace.com page I think, a few weeks ago: Looks also quite close to the typical King Conan pieces... | |

| The illustrator is Jean-Michel Nicollet (I believe he did most of, if not all the covers from this very famous French collection), and I think this one is from late 1979/early 1980... | |

| And here are his RE Howard-related covers (scroll down): http://boutillon.free.fr/Underground/Jeux/Muryaden/Origine/Livres/Livres.html The Conan gallery at the bottom mixes Nicollet's artwork with Frazetta's, Boris', etc. PS: Nicollet's version of Christophe Lambert as Conan: http://boutillon.free.fr/Underground/Jeux/Muryaden/Origine/Livres/Scans/Howard/Lattes_068_p1.jpg | |

| By the way, the Kull book at Neo's was first published in 1979, I suppose the first edition had this Nicollet illustration as a cover (mine is a reprint from 1984). | |

| ^Ah, one of Arnold's lost projects. Neat find! Here's a Kull the Destroyer cover from the late 70's: William Stout used a similiar serpent creature: | |
