Conan, at the side of Taurus, Prince of Thieves, assaults the dreaded Elephant Towerbut deadly peril awaits at every turn, from hungry lions to giant spiders, and it'll take all his barbarian skill merely to stay alive long enough to make it inside. Yet, once inside, he finds the tower holds secrets far stranger and darker than anything Conan could have prepared for. Colorist Dave Stewart won a 2005 Eisner Award for his work on _B.P.R.D._ and _Conan_.
