"Red Nails" is often considered one of Robert E. Howard's finest Conan tales. In the story, Conan is reunited with Valeria of the Red Brotherhood, and both travel deep into a lost city. Along the way, they encounter a vicious dragon-beast that mauls their horses before turning its attention on them. In this brilliant portrayal, Sanjulian has captured the precise moment that Conan's strike has landed its fatal blow on the monster, which soon shifts victory back in favor of the two heroic warriors, allowing them to continue on their journey.
