Project Pride

The following was posted by Project Pride on their Facebook page.

Jeff Shanks, archeologist for the National Park Service, will soon be heading up a team that will excavate the storm/root cellar on the property of the Howard Museum. The goal is to have this project completed before the REH Days in June. Many things have been tossed into that underground room over time, so there’s no telling what they will discover. It’s been said that Dr. Howard’s shingle is down there! What do you think they will find?

Conan the Barbarian TV Series In Works At Amazon

New post at Deadline: Hollywood.

Slave, Soldier, and King: A Make 100 Anthology

This Kickstarter is meant to let future generations enjoy Robert E. Howard's first forays into the genre of sword and sorcery, the precursor to the famous Conan the Barbarian. Although Solomon Kane and Conan, his more famous works, are still in print, Kull of Atlantis has fallen through the cracks. With your help, we will be able to print a paperback containing the first Kull stories, plus The Phoenix on the Sword, featuring all new artwork by professional illustrator Stefan Poag. This will finally allow anyone, not just collectors, to enjoy these tales in print.

After launching my Kickstarter to fund a reprint of REH's The Shadow Kingdom, The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune, and The Phoenix on the Sword, I was contacted by someone close to John Severin's family and I am now proud to announce that my anthology will include a selection of works by John Severin (illustrator of Marvel Co mics' Conan the Barbarian, Dark Horse Comics' Conan, and many other projects)! I am honored to be able to include his work in my anthology, especially due to his vast portfolio of work.

Print copies of the anthology are just $12 plus shipping and digital copies are just $3.

This project will only be funded if it reaches its goal by Mon, February 19 2018.
