Story Notes
Adapted from Robert E. Howard story "The Lost Valley of Iskander" When this story, penciled by Chaykin as a 40-pager intended for *Savage Sword of Conan, *was instead used to fill three issues of *Conan the Barbarian, *new pages (including splashes) were penciled by Ernie Chan ([Roy Thomas] 1977, 21; Thomas 2019, 199–200); this issue’s splash appears to be by Chan. The 51 story pages in issues 79–81 of *Conan the Barbarian *suggest that Chan penciled some pages not yet attributed to him. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ References: [Thomas, Roy]. 1977. The Hyborian Page. *Conan the Barbarian. *October. Thomas, Roy. 2019. *Barbarian Life: A Literary Biography of Conan the Barbarian, Volume Two. *N.p.: Pulp Hero Press.
