The reuniting of these two giants has produced an exciting masterpiece incomparable to anything previously published. Just imagine a perfect match… Frazetta’s fierce art equalling Howard’s powerful storytelling. Collected in this volume are seven stories and five poems which represent some of the best of Howard’s work featuring barbarians. Stories featured are Beyond the Black River, The House of Arabu, Spears of Clontarf, The Night of the Wolf, Spear and Fang, The Valley of the Worm and Lord of Samarcand plus poems and the letters. Also included is a foreword by Frank Frazetta; an essay from the noted French scholar, Patrice Louinet; a section with excepts from Howard’s letters to H.P. Lovecraft in which he discusses “barbarism vs. civilization;” and… a complete set of textual notes, creating a record of any deviations from the meticulously restored and unexpurgated text. Robert E.
