Howard Library of Classics, plus poetry from Richard L. Tierney, Announcements, Howard History, and more.<\/p>\n EXCERPTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n I wonder what strange parasitic compulsion pushes such lesser talents as de Camp, and now Louinet, to add their own pointless baggage to Howard’s work?<\/p>\n — from “Conan the Expensive” by Don Herron<\/em><\/p>\n This is what most fans have wanted all along. Let’s admit it. When older-timers like myself were first reading Conan in the Lancer editions in the 1960s, we either skipped over or just endured the de Camp\/Carter filler stories, which were pretty weak stuff compared to genuine Howard.<\/p>\n — from “The One and Authentic Cimmerian” by Darrell Schweitzer<\/em><\/p>\n That the editor of the current Conan books sees nothing wrong with silently appropriating his more-famous counterpart’s most-famous critical idea, even while simultaneously ostracizing him from the debate, says it all about how careless and unprofessional the current Howard orthodoxy has become.<\/p>\n — from “Napoleon’s Triumph?” by Gary Romeo<\/em><\/p>\n These men have given Howard a textual permanence of a kind few authors ever achieve. In doing so, they have assured a sort of immortality for themselves, one that will have future generations speaking highly of them, long after the current edition’s window dressing — <\/em>art and fonts and criticism — are forgotten.<\/p>\n — from “Hell Needs a New Devil” by Leo Grin<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Edited by Leo Grin | Illustrated by Jason Castagna 40 pages This issue was printed in two editions.
