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. That book, A Gent from Bear Creek, is considered the holy grail of Howard collectors - only seven original copies are known to exist. 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.
