It was reading the early Conan (long BLACK hair and volcanic blue eyes by the way) and Solomon Kane, El Borak, Kull, Cormac Mac Art, Bran Mak Morn, Kirby O'Donnell etc adventures that set me on my own writing path. Howard is a real treasure, and it's a pity that so many readers have lost touch with him over the years. I wonder how many books readers have picked up in recent decades were actually inspired by the adventures of Howard. Countless I imagine.Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12033131935968488175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876019129197579580.post-50102619878456739652011-06-06T07:46:04.053-05:002011-06-06T07:46:04.053-05:00Interesting post B.R. - I am a big fan of Howard&#...Interesting post B.R. - I am a big fan of Howard's work. Del Rey put out a volume a couple of years ago with all of the Solomon Kane stories in it. Howard had a few other really interesting characters as well - El Borak (also the subject of a recent Del Rey anthology) is a character I really enjoyed - but he wrote across a range of genres - with some really exceptional pieces mixed in across them ("Pigeons from Hell" is another personal favorite).<br /><br />TravisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12345215300177797807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876019129197579580.post-92110021029837913792011-06-05T20:44:33.254-05:002011-06-05T20:44:33.254-05:00B.R.,
