Conan is given a stone knife, a rope, and a flint. The Cimmerian will need all three if he is to rescue Jenna from atop the tall tower where she's held by a winged man.

All that and more as we look at Conan the Barbarian #9: The Garden of Fear by Roy Thomas, Barry Windsor Smith, Sal Buscema, and Sam Rosen.

This issue was published by Marvel Comics in June, 1971.

Plus, I talk about Robert E. Howard's racist views and how they made their way into some of his Conan stories.

Enjoy!
