CONAN  
Coming in September!

Know, O Prince, that between the time that saw the sinking of Atlantis and the glittering cities ... there was an unsuspected Age, during which resplendent realms spread across the globe. But the most illustrious of the kingdoms of this world was Aquilonia, whose supremacy was undisputed in the dreaming West. It was in this country that came Conan, the Cimmerian - black hair, dark eyes, sword in hand, a thief, a looter, a killer, with fits of melancholy just as disproportionate as his joys - to tread his sandals thrones constellated with jewels of the Earth.

Conan is one of the most famous fictional characters in the world. Robert E. Howard created it in 1932 and with him, heroic fantasy .

This hero, as well as the evocative power of his author's writing, has had and still has a major influence on the Western imagination.

For the first time, here is the complete Conan Adventures in one volume, an exceptional edition with limited edition and beautifully enriched with 251 illustrations including 21 full color pages by:

Black Vulmea's Vengeance: 
Harold DeLay's preliminary double-page spread.

"Black Vulmea's Vengeance" first appeared in GOLDEN FLEECE Volume 1 Number 2 published in November 1938. The story was illustrated by Harold DeLay. DeLay had previously illustrated three REH stories in WEIRD TALES. These were "Black Caanan" (WEIRD TALES, June 1936), "Red Nails" (WEIRD TALES, July, August-September, and October 1936), and "Black Hound of Death" (WEIRD TALES, November 1936). He would go on to illustrate "Gates of Empire" in GOLDEN FLEECE Volume 2 Number 1 (January 1939).

Pulp and art collector Doug Ellis recently purchased a preliminary of the opening double-page spread for Robert E. Howard's "Black Vulmea's Vengeance." With Doug's kind permission I am posting the preliminary illustration along with the finished piece that was published in GOLDEN FLEECE. Both scans are courtesy of Doug Ellis and will be be added to the Howard Works listing for GOLDEN FLEECE Volume 1 Number 2. This is a rare opportunity to see something that is not often seen. Enjoy!
