Synopsis

Robert E. Howard is among a select group of now-revered writers who published primarily in pulp magazines. His suicide at the age of 30 cut short his productive career, during which he created memorable characters like Conan of Cimmeria for such magazines as "Weird Tales" and "Action Stories". Pulps continued publishing Howard material posthumously, and his first hardcover book appeared in 1937, a year after his death. That book, "A Gent from Bear Creek", is considered the holy grail of Howard collectors - only seven original copies are known to exist. With the dust jacket, the book's value is estimated at $30,000. This guide is an invaluable resource for Howard collectors, with information for every known published work. Initial chapters provide a biography, discuss Howard's literary legacy, and give basic tips about book collecting, grading, buying and selling. The main body of the work is a bibliography of Howard's published works from 1925 through 2004. Each entry includes a description and known details, including publisher, date, print run, and estimated value. A thorough index locates the publication of every Howard story or poem.
