BOB McLEOD Arak Son of Thunder #39 (DC, 1984) After scripting Conan for Marvel for many years, Roy Thomas created a barbarian comic for DC called Arak, Son of Thunder, and he brought Tony along with him to do the art. They had a good run for a few dozen issues. I think DeZuniga’s cross hatch ink style was particularly wellsuited to the barbarian genre, and he probably couldn’t help but be influenced by John Buscema’s great layouts while inking so many issues of Savage Sword of Conan. I like his extensive use of diagonals in the composition here. Courtesy Heritage
