To quote Rose Tyler: "Blimey, you can smell the testosterone!"

These were the kind I had to hide from mom. Barbarian babes rock.
ha! i just bought that very same issue of Creatures on the Loose at a flea market this summer. it was beat up and dog earred but worth the 25 cents.
Thanks for commenting, guys. I would have loved to see Steranko draw a full S&S strip like Conan, that would have been amazing. Hey Jim, there's still time!
I saw the original of the Thongor cover in 1974, and it blows away the Marvel version. I put up all known drawings of Steranko's Talon Barbarian character here:
