A solid collection of terrific comics. In the earliest ones the art is a little rough around the edges, but thise are saved by Roy Thomas' pitch-perfect understanding of the characters and world. But by the end, Smith has completely risen to the challenge. It's unfortunate that the coloring process has resulted in the loss of some details in the art...it's never *too* bad, but there are some panels that have been reduced to colored blobs.
Still, Thomas and Smith were the Conan dream-team. If you want their run in a nice hardcover set, you'll want this (and the second one as well). It should have been in black and white, but at least the colors here are better than some previous reproductions.
