Story Notes
Inspired by Robert E Howard story 'The Black Stone'. Smith credit changed from sketches to layout, based on splash page credits and info derived from letters pages. According to an interview with Craig Russell in Conan: The Jewels of Gwahlur, only the first page and a couple of separate panels were fully drawn by Barry Smith, Val Mayerik completed figure work and Russell backgrounds. Inker Dan Adkins fell behind and called on them to do finished inks. In Back Issue #67 Russell stated he along with Val Mayerik did the finished pencil work, with Russell, Mayerik and Mark Kersey completing the inking. Roussos coloring credit per Roy Thomas (2018, 116). \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Reference: Thomas, Roy. 2018. *Barbarian Life: A Literary Biography of Conan the Barbarian, Volume One. *N.p.: Pulp Hero Press.
