CONAN THE BARBARIAN (1982) - Ron Cobb Hand-Drawn Wheel of Pain Designs
A set of hand-drawn concept designs from John Milius' fantasy epic Conan the Barbarian (1982). The artwork, illustrated by production designer Ron Cobb, depicts early designs for the Wheel of Pain, the torturous device that the enslaved Conan (Arnold Schwarzenegger) pushed until he reached adulthood.

The set comprises two boards with three pages attached, accompanied by a single loose illustration, featuring designs for the Wheel of Pain and its operating mechanism. Three of the images, rendered in pencil on white paper, are mounted on pieces of card, and were used as part of a reference library. A sheet of printed copy of sword designs by Cobb is present on the rear of one of the card sections. A final illustration of the Wheel of Pain's mechanism is drawn in pencil on tracing paper. The artwork remains in overall good condition, with some creases and wear from mounting. Dimensions (largest artwork): 35.5 cm x 26.5 cm (14'' x 10 1/2'')
