Happy birthday to Groove, happy birthday to Groove, happy bir--oh, what's up, Groove-ophiles! Yeah, today's Ol' Groove's twenty-third twenty-ninth birthday (remember, in the Groovy Age they told us not to trust anyone over 30--and you know you can trust Ol' Groove)! So, since it's m'b-day, then I get to share one of my all-time faves! And since it's Black and White Wednesday, how 'bout this masterpiece by Roy Thomas and Tim Conrad from Savage Sword of Conan #8 (which came out the month Young Groove turned twelve)! "The Forever Phial" is a a tale of Young Conan (how fitting!) written by Roy, himself, with the singularly spectacular art by young Tim Conrad whose Barry (Windsor-) Smith meets the Golden Age meets Mike Kaluta style always turned me on, baby! Hey, we even get a little red in this b&w tale--it's just that special!
