This is the kind of Conan that Dave Sim felt was so ripe for parody back in the day. It's just a dumb Aladdin rip off that has our hero stealing some magic gems only to have the stone guardians of the secret temple come to life and attack him. Conan is of course more than up to the task and he dispatches the magical monsters and retires to the pub for some mead and another boring anecdote session. Surprise, surprise, when he shows the gems at the end of his story, they melt into dust. It's a lame story unredeemed by Mike Mignola's witty script.
