The classic Conan story was only enhanced by the great artists working on this! Well done! CROM SMILES!
Superior to "The Chronicles..." Buy it!

I have the first 3 in this series: The Frost Giant's Daughter And Other Stories, The God In The Bowl And Other Stories and The Tower Of The Elephant And Other Stories. I find the artwork to be superior to the "Chronicals of Conan", and there is always at least one original Howard tale included in these books. The "Other Stories" stand up very well to the Howard adventures. They are very much in the same spirit and style, and are fitting tributes. So far all have been extremely enjoyable, and I plan to purchase the rest of them. I only buy what I like (as opposed to collecting for its own sake), and I like this!! Great for new readers and old Conan fans alike!
More than great!!

This could not be better! The drawings are fantastic! Storyline is very good, great characters. Brutally fantastic! You should have this in your comic collection, it will be worth to have it.
