In the same way that Tolkien is considered the father of epic
fantasy, so to is Robert E. Howard considered the father of the
fantasy genre of sword and sorcery. Howard is among a select group
of now-revered writers who published primarily in pulp magazines.
Pulps continued publishing Howard material posthumously, and his
first hardcover book appeared in 1937, a year after his early death
at the age of 30. Anthologies, books, comic adaptations and movies
based on his work are still being brought out. Howard created one
of the most popular of all fantasy characters, Conan. Other famous
characters included King Kull of Atlantis, the Puritan adventurer
Soloman Kane, the female warrior Red Sonya, and the Pict Bran Mak
Morn. This guide is an invaluable resource about Howard, with
information for every known published work. Initial chapters
provide a biography, discuss Howard's literary legacy, and give
basic tips about collecting Howard's writings. 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.
