Originally painted by Frank Frazetta in 1965, this image first appeared on Robert E. Howard’s paperback, "Conan The Adventurer." The Barbarian is one of many paintings that Frazetta used for the covers of the Conan series.
This work features a rare self portrait in pencil that transforms into the Barbarian. Frank Frazetta was known for depicting himself in many of the characters he painted, but particularly the Barbarian.
