Eisner award-winning writer Kurt Busiek (JLA/Avengers, Astro City), Eisner award-nominated artist Cary Nord (Daredevil), and Eisner award-winning color artist Dave Stewart (Ultimate Fantastic Four; DC: The New Frontier) continue their groundbreaking run on Dark Horse's best-selling Conan series with an adaptation of one of Robert E. Howard's greatest Conan tales, "The Tower of the Elephant"!
Fed up with both civilization and mysticism, Conan travels to the infamous City of Thieves to take out his frustrations. When a bar fight uncovers the legend of the impregnable Tower of the Elephant, he becomes determined to rob it, setting out on a quest unlike any he's undertaken-one that will involve new comrades, sudden death, horrifying creatures, and gruesome unsettling fates for both gods and men.
Busiek and Nord-with a special appearance by legendary illustrator Michael Wm. Kaluta (Books of Magic, Lucifer)-chronicle a seminal adventure in Conan's life, taking him from bloodied back alleys to the apex of a jeweled tower containing one of the universe's most harrowing secrets. The legacy of Robert E. Howard thrives in this stunning take on a story that helped change fantasy fiction forever!
Conan Volume 3: The Tower of the Elephant and Other Stories features story by Kurt Busiek with art by Cary Nord and Michael W. Kaluta. Colors by Dave Stewart. This hardcover edition will be released on May 17 with a retail price of $24.95. A softcover edition follows on June 21.
