Slaine and Conan

Is that Slaine on the left having a drink in a tavern in issue 11 of Conan - Road of kings?

I feel the rumblings of the mayor awakening from his slumber. The earth, she does begin to move beneath my feet.

Terrible art.

Slaine always had/has better art than this. Once upon a time, so did Conan comics.

And it will again very very soon.

It does indeed bear a resemblance to Slaine.

Can't be Slaine - if he had gone to a tavern like that Ukko would not be far away, and I cant see him in the picture (unless he is getting a drink

).

It'd look even more like Sláine if the colourist hadn't rendered his torc in flesh tones...

By Crom I think it is isn't it? Yeah the art's a bit shoddy alright. That preview of Becky Cloonan's take is better but still nowhere near as good as Slaine when drawn by McMahon or Fabry.

I think it's definitely a nod with the hair and the tartan. Any sign of Thorgal?
