By Justin Sweet

This oversized book designed by artist Jim Keegan measures 9.25" x 13.5" and is inked in beautiful full color. The thirty-two pages of scintillating artwork is printed on heavy paper stock and is spiral bound across the top so that your favorite character and painting may hang proudly on your wall, or effortlessly change with the seasons and your mood. Each painting portrays a different character from Robert E. Howard's classic literature and is accompanied by facinating character/story information and relevant excepts from Howard's correspondence compiled by renowned Howard scholar Rusty Burke, with additional text written by wordsmith Steve Tompkins.


By Mike Mignola

As if paintings by these wonderful artists and scholarship by one of the foremost Howard experts in the world were not enough, about a dozen rare photographs of Howard himself are reproduced in this book directly from the originals for the first time ever -- many of which have never before been seen. In addition, images from rare pulp magazine covers and interiors make their way onto the pages of this extraordinary publication.
