Robert E. Howard's Sailor Steve Costigan: 
The Complete Collection of Published Stories
Now available!

From Pulp-Lit Productions:

Robert E. Howard is best known today for his "sword-and-sorcery" stories. But in the early 1930s, he was a legend in boxing circles for his humorously over-the-top adventure stories starring the sailor Steve Costigan, champ of the Sea Girl -- the toughest trading vessel on the Seven Seas. Steve is an A.B. mariner and amateur boxer, with a heart of gold -- and a head of solid wood.

In these 21 tales, he blows around the waterfronts of various Far East ports with his white bulldog Mike, getting swindled by clever dames, pummeling the occasional underworld criminal, and getting into epic fistic battles with anyone who can take a good punch -- in or out of the ring.

  1. Is the text taken from the original typescripts/magazine appearances? Wondering if these read the same as the Fists of Iron volumes from REHF.

  2. They likely do not. These texts are from the pulp appearances. The Fists of Iron texts were from typescripts and carbons where available. Pulp appearances were the third option down the line.
