Howard Foundation website&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Robert E. Howard Foundation is pleased to announce <em>The Collected Drawings of Robert E. Howard<\/em>. This slim, 42-page volume collects all of the known artwork by our favorite Texan. All of the comics and doodles from his letters and\u00a0all of the Hyborian Age maps have been collected, but that\u2019s not all. Many previously unpublished maps for stories like \u201cBlood of the Gods\u201d and \u201cWild Water\u201d have been cleaned up and are presented here for the first time. Also, a fantastic discovery was made in Texas last year: Robert E. Howard\u2019s high school text book. On each of the blank pages within that book, a young Howard doodled characters from his favorite stories in <em>Adventure<\/em> magazine, 11 characters in all. There was also a loose sheet of paper folded in the book with additional drawings. All are collected here. Order today and, depending on which shipping option is chosen, it might just show up in time for Christmas.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Collected Drawings<\/em> is an 8.5 x 11, perfect-bound paperback with an introduction by Bill Cavalier. Prepared for publication by yours truly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This sounds like\u00a0a cool little package. Apparently, the REHF is going with a paperback edition from lulu.com for this volume, just as they did for the first edition of [redacted]&#8217;s [redacted]. What has me really fired up are the maps that will be reproduced. We know that REH drafted rough maps (<a href=\"http:\/\/leogrin.com\/CimmerianBlog\/?p=3646\">just like Conan<\/a>)\u00a0for several yarns, including <em>The Hour of the Dragon<\/em>. On top of that, several of the drawings I&#8217;ve seen are quite good for an untrained artist.\u00a0For complete information about this REHF project, see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rehfoundation.org\/?p=1083\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[redacted] Now, just a little over two years later,\u00a0this news from [redacted], over at The Robert E.
