Written by Roy Thomas with art by Barry Windsor-Smith and John Buscema, the collection includes the epic adaptation of Robert E. Howard's 'The Tower of the Elephant' and the title tale 'The Monster of the Monoliths,' showcasing Conan's adventures in the Hyborian Age.
In "A Sword Called Stormbringer!", Conan ventures into the forbidden Temple of Tarim, where he confronts a deadly black hound in the shadows. After a brutal fight, he escapes the sinking ship of the treacherous Balthaz, leaving behind the wreckage and the mystery of the cursed blade. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated with fierce precision by Barry Windsor-Smith, with inks by Dan Adkins and lettering by John Costanza, this 2003 Dark Horse tale delivers a classic Conan adventure with relentless pacing and atmospheric dread. The cover, also by Windsor-Smith with inks by Adkins, captures the moment’s grim intensity.
