Pulpy Goodness

Robert E. Howard wrote more than just Conan stories, he was a versatile writer of great skill who was butchered by later generations. It is only now that his work is being published as he wrote it minus all the changes made by other authors.

Wandering Star started off with some absolutely gorgeous volumes, of which I have all but the Solomon Kane.  Sales were not that spectacular I understand, the volumes ranged in price from $60-225$ US for the standard editions and Wandering star has not released further volumes, including the third Conan that would finish the set. The good news is Subterranean Press is picking up where Wandering Star left off starting with Kull followed by the third Conan volume. I can't wait to add to my collection.  Here is one of the interior color plates from the upcoming Kull book.
