In "The Garden of Fear," Conan and Jenna find themselves among a mountain tribe before Jenna is taken by a mysterious winged being — the last of a forgotten race. Trapped in a tower guarded by deadly, blooming predators, Conan must summon every ounce of cunning and courage to reach her, leading a charge of woolly mammoths up the sheer cliffside. Written by Roy Thomas and Robert E. Howard, with dynamic art by Barry Smith and inks by Sal Buscema, this tale blends primal danger with mythic dread. The cover, a striking piece by Barry Windsor-Smith, captures the moment of peril with haunting detail.
