Once I started it, it was very easy to continue to the end. The stories are good, and it is interesting, to me at least, to see a young Conan who is still learning his way around the world. This time he makes his way to the City of Thieves, where he starts to make his way as a thief in his own right. Eventually, he decides to attempt to steal a jewel from the Tower of the Elephant, a feat no other thief would dare. But not all is as it seems. There is magic and evil involved. The art complements the stories in this series very well; you get the feel of Conan's setting. Dark Horse has done a good job on these volumes. If you are a fan of Conan, you will enjoy these, even if they seem to end so fast once you start. I will certainly keep reading the others. A well-done graphic interpretation of one of Robert Howard's classic Conan tales. I find REH a bit inaccessible in print, so I prefer the graphic versions. This book is different from the Conan comics by Barry Windsor Smith (also by Dark Horse) because it is pretty pure Conan writing. Windsor Smith had to plunder non-Conan writings by Howard and later by other authors too simply because there wasn't enough original material to sustain such a long-running comic. This adaptation however sticks to the source, accompanied by a pleasant graphic style.
The artists are able to do the heavy lifting of setting the scene and depicting the action, whittling away Howard's prose to the unselfconsciously heroic dialog: blood oaths, curses, seductive grunts, defiant yells. Is opgenomen in
