CONAN THE BARBARIAN (1982) - Ron Cobb Hand-Drawn 'Pit Fighter I' Artwork
Hand-drawn artwork depicting Conan (Arnold Schwarzenegger) in his battle against a pit fighter from John Milius’ action-adventure Conan the Barbarian (1982). Rendered by production designer Ron Cobb, the illustration is titled ‘PIT FIGHTER I,” and was published in a special April 1982 double issue of Cinefantastique magazine as part of the film’s promotional campaign.

Drawn with pencils on illustration board, the artwork depicts Conan standing over his bleeding opponent in the bottom of a pit, with dozens of slavers cheering on the battle below. The artwork shows ‘CONAN’ and ‘PIT FIGHTER I’ written at the bottom corners in pencil, and is signed ‘R. COBB’ vertically along the bottom right of the drawing. The piece shows wear due to use and age, with tack holes at the corners and tape residue around the perimeter; however, the art remains in very fine condition. Dimensions: 51 cm x 38 cm x 1 cm (20” x 15” x ¼”)
