Robert E. Howard (1906-36) lived and wrote in Cross Plains, Texas. From 1924 until his death, he sold hundreds of stories to pulp-fiction magazines such as Weird Tales, Argosy, Action Stories, Fight Stories, and Cowboy Stories. As a twentieth-century American master of fantastic adventure, he rivals Edgar Rice Burroughs. Rusty Burke is a noted Howard scholar and collector and is the series editor for the Wandering Star edition of Howard's works.
"The University of Nebraska Press collections are an important contribution to anyone interested in Robert E. Howard, or just how good pulp fiction can be."-Southwest BookViews Southwest BookViews "It's very nice to have these available once more, and Howard fans should chase them down while they have the chance."-Science Fiction Chronicle Science Fiction Chronicle "These western stories, written in the 1930s, were unlike anything that had been written in the genre until then. Many of the central characters are merely the best of a bad lot ... and the stories were grimmer, more violent and without happy endings... Aficionados of the genre will undoubtedly welcome the opportunity to revisit these tales."-Mike Ashworth, Historical Novels Review -- Mike Ashworth Historical Novels Review
