HotJuicyBurgers Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Happy 80th Birthday Conan! I was looking around on ebay for some of these pulps but the prices are very erratic. How much should someone pay for one of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theagenes Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Happy 80th Birthday Conan! I was looking around on ebay for some of these pulps but the prices are very erratic. How much should someone pay for one of these? Well it depends. Do you mean this particular issue, which is a key (1st Conan)? Do you mean Weird Tales issues in general or just issues with Conan and Robert E. Howard content? Pulp prices are actually very stable. Any variance in price you see is likely due to the same basic reasons some comics are worth more than others. Grade, scarcity, content, classic covers, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never bought a pulp so I am out of the loop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theagenes Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Gotcha. Well here's a five part series I wrote for The Cimmerian blog a few years ago on collecting REH pulps. It needs updating but it's still pretty accurate. http://www.thecimmerian.com/pulp-collecting-and-reh-part-1/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theagenes Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 The Guest of Honor at Robert E. Days 2013 has been announced and it is none other than Tim Truman. Sweet! http://www.conan.com/invboard/index.php?showtopic=10190 Robert E. Howard Days will take place June 7-8, 2013, at the the Robert E. Howard House & Museum in Cross Plains, Texas. This annual gathering of fans of Ol’ Two-Gun Bob Howard is presented by the fine folks of Project Pride of Cross Plains, sponsored by the Robert E. Howard Foundation with the help of the members of REHupa, the Robert E. Howard United Press Association. The REH Foundation is proud to announce the 2013 Guest of Honor is Tim Truman, artist and author from Dark Horse Comics. Tim is currently at work on adapting The Hour of the Dragon for Dark Horse. All of the regularly scheduled events will be taking place again this year: the Howard House and Gift Shop open on Friday & Saturday (and for a short while on Thursday), panels of interest to everyone, the Friday night Celebration Banquet and Silent Auction, the special postal cancellation, the REH Swap Meet at the Pavilion, bus tours of the town + surrounding area, the Saturday night Barbeque at the Caddo Peak Ranch, plus (maybe most importantly) the gathering of friends and fans to honor the Legacy of REH. Cross Plains Barbarian Days festival is also that Saturday, and the REH Foundation will host a Legacy Circle Members Luncheon. The detailed information will be posted soon at www.rehupa.com and at the REH Foundation site as well as at Two-Gun Raconteur. (You can check out 2012's info at the REHupa website by clicking on the REH DAYS 2012 bar at the top.) But now’s the time to make your plans on being there for the best 2+ days in Howard Fandom. If you’re a returning attendee, you know what a great time it is – and if you’ve never been, come to Cross Plains and find out! There’s plenty of room for everyone – it’s TEXAS! Hope to see you there. We’re in the process of getting the details ironed out, so check back soon. Any questions? Let me know at 2cavaliers@sbcglobal.net. Black Indy has spoken!

Theagenes Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Come through San Antonio this time. Right now I'm tentatively planning to come to San Antonio for Worldcon in September. There are plans to create an REH exhibit since he's one of the more famous Texas authors of SF&F. I'll probably be helping out with that and bringing some of the rarer stuff from my own collection to put on display. And looking forward to partying with Joe Lansdale.
