CONAN ILLUSTRÉ : LA TOUR DE L'ELÉPHANT
Coming October 5, 2022

This album illustrates The Tower of the Elephant , one of Conan the Barbarian 's most famous short stories .

In the district of Maul, in Zamora, where the bandits go to celebrate their crimes, a young barbarian, dark hair, broad shoulders and powerful chest, hears a Kothien evoke the tower of the Elephant. The thief tells him that it contains in its heights the Heart of the Elephant, a marvelous jewel which offers wealth and powers to whoever holds it. Without preparation, Conan the Cimmerian undertakes the ascent of this tower reputed to be impregnable, a journey that will test the body and the spirit of the barbarian...

The meeting of an author and an artist. A figure of Heroic Fantasy, Conan has become an icon of pop culture. The designer Valentin Sécher takes over the character created by Robert E. Howard to deliver an unprecedented immersion in the universe of the Cimmerian.
