Conan signed and numbered limited-edition art portfolio by John Buscema (1978)

This is a vintage art portfolio titled 'CONAN BY JOHN BUSCEMA,' published in 1978 by S.Q. Productions. The item consists of a heavy paper folder/envelope containing a series of art plates. The cover features a stark black-and-white ink illustration of Conan the Barbarian in a classic heroic pose, rendered in Buscema's signature dynamic style. Physically, the portfolio appears to be approximately 11x14 inches. A critical value-adding feature is the hand-written signature 'John Buscema' in the upper right corner, along with a hand-written limited edition numbering of '770/2000.' The copyright text at the bottom confirms the 1978 production date. Regarding condition, the piece shows significant signs of age and wear: there is visible yellowing and foxing (brown spotting) across the surface, a prominent vertical crease along the left side, and a jagged tear/loss of paper on the upper right edge near the numbering. There is also a pencil mark of '$15.00' in the top right corner. Despite the condition issues, the presence of a legitimate Buscema autograph and the low print run make it a desirable piece of Bronze Age comic memorabilia. The craftsmanship reflects the higher-end production standards for independent comic art portfolios of the late 1970s.
