Description: For your kind consideration is this CGC 6.0/FN (fine) copy of Conan the Barbarian #1 with off-white pages from 1970. This issue features the origin and 1st appearance of Conan in comics. He first appeared in print waaaaaay back in 1932 in a story Robert Howard wrote for "Weird Tales" magazine called "The Phoenix on the Sword." Anyway, this issue also features the 1st cameo of King Kull and a classic cover by Barry Windsor-Smith. Please take advantage of the fact that I will entertain all serious offers for this book by making me one. I am of the firm belief that negotiating (or haggling if you prefer) over the price of comic books is a time-honored tradition that makes the transactional experience more enjoyable for buyer and seller alike. That's just my barbaric way of saying, "Haggling's fun." In light of the recent re-holder scam, among others, at CGC, all I can do is give you the history of how this book came to me and came to be slabbed. I purchased it, raw, from a seller on Whatnot on March 30, 2024. I then cleaned and pressed the book myself and it was slabbed on June 18, 2024 as revealed by looking up its certification # (4442745005) on either CGC's or GoCollect's website. You can also access the grader's notes at either site. The book/slab has been in my possession since its purchase date. I understand that I am asking you to trust me when trust is in short supply within the comic collecting community right now. All I can do is refer you to my feedback and offer to answer any questions you might have. FYI, I include a raw mystery book with every slab I sell, usually from the same title...something to think about. Your newly acquired 6.0/FN copy of Conan the Barbarian #1 will be shipped to you no later than the day after receiving payment (unless, of course, that day is a Sunday), double-boxed, and surrounded with enough bubble wrap to make you wonder if senility has finally gotten the best of me. It has not. Seriously, I use a geriatric amount of the stuff, just ask around the retirement home. Please check out my other listings. I add new books all the time. Finally, thanks for your time and consideration, both are greatly appreciated.
