KEN KELLY (American b.1946)
Conan and the Emerald Lotus, paperback cover, 1996
Oil on masonite
40.5 x 24 in.
Signed lower left
This piece appeared as the cover scene for John C. Hocking's novel, based on the Robert E. Howard immortal character, Conan and the Emerald Lotus, Tor Books, 1999.

"One wizard is bad -- two are a disaster. After refusing to help the evil wizard Ethram-Fal, Conan has been cursed with a spell that is slowly, inexorably squeezing the life from his mighty frame. The only one who can banish the spell is the sorceress Zelandra, a raven-haired beauty who practices only white magic -- or so she says. Zelandra has offered to lift the spell from the Cimmerian, if only he will do her one service -- steal the deadly Emerald Lotus from the clutches of Ethram-Fal in his impregnable desert fortress." From the Frank Collection.
