Hugely popular artist, Esteban Maroto, presents this stunning full-color image of Conan versus predatory vampire demons, with the life of a lovely lady at stake. This stunning fantasy piece was painted in on canvas by Maroto in the midst of the artist's "peak period," during which he created a number of wonderful masterpieces for Warren Publications and became highly esteemed for the uniqueness he brought to the genre. Originally published in 1977 as a poster, it later became the inside-front cover for XOTICA, The Art of Esteban Maroto (SQP,1995). Painted in rich hues of blue and green in ravishing oil color, Maroto brings his unique sense of style to this large, 17.5" x 22.5" painting, which has been professionally matted and framed. Lots of gorgeous color combinations and textures, lending a poster-like effect to the work. Signed by Estaban Maroto at the bottom right.
