  <blurb>If you're a fan of fantasy author Robert E. Howard, who wrote for the pulps in the 1920s and 30s, rejoice! His stories of the great barbarian adventurer Conan are coming back in print, without unnecessary editing. These are the original texts.

If you enjoy fantasy, but have never read either Howard or Conan -- BUY THIS NOW. It is a must for lovers of fantasy. Banish any notions you have of Conan in other media: movies, comics, books by other authors. Howard's Conan is a stunning, unique creation. At turns bloody thrilling, filled with passionate rushes of action, at other times brooding and beautiful, sweeping you off to strange vistas. Howard was a one of a kind author, an American great, and with Conan he was at his best.</blurb>

  <review>The Conan stories by Robert E. Howard are some of the first and the best in the Heroic Fantasy / Swords and Sorcery genres. The stories are far better than the movies or comics based upon them. I highly recommend them. Just as good - in fact, probably better, or Howard's stories about Kull and those of Solomon Kane.
