Collection the Savage Sword of Conan #56
In "Les pierres rouges," young Conan, the thief, takes on a deadly mission for Lady Siddhara: steal the legendary red healing stones from the immortal Ramtha Karn. Accompanied by Palus, Siddhara’s former lover and his bodyguard, Conan is trapped in Karn’s fortress, where he uncovers the horrifying truth—that the stones feed on human blood. Written by Gerry Conway and Thomas Davier, with art by Mike Clark, Brad Vancata, Joe Rosas, Mickey Ritter, and inks by Alfredo Alcala, this tale blends peril and discovery in a vividly drawn adventure. The cover, by Earl Norem, captures the story’s dark, mythic tone.
