Features the Conan story "The Hall of the Dead" by RE Howard and L. Sprague de Camp.

 

Gorgeous high grade copy that would grade higer but there is a light bend/indent at the top and bottom edge of the back cover that look like faint bundling twine marks from the newsstand stack (easily pressed out if you want to ) .

The Grey God Passes by RE Howard with illustrations by Walter Simonson NM - $10

 

Published by Charles Miller, Columbia, 1975. First separate edition. Near Fine. Printed in stapled chapbook format wrappers, 36 pages, illustrated.

 

These two "pamphlet style" REH stories (see Two Against Tyre next) had low print runs and appear to have been authorized by Glen Lord, the literary agent for the Howard Estate. My guess is that they did it to retain the copyright on the material. They are cool items nonetheless. (thumbs u

This chapbook/pamphlet in illustrated wrappers was published in 1975 by Dennis McHaney. A total of 1500 copies were produced; of these, 600 were printed on deluxe 70lb Stratmhmore Artlaid paper in a numbered deluxe edition; this copy is number 461 of 600.

And last but not least...................

 

Almuric by RE Howard - $30 (range is from $35 - $45 for this condition on Abe Books).

 

Donald M. Grant Publisher, West Kingston, 1975. Hard Cover.

 

Book Condition: Fine.

 

Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine (there is a small bend/crease in the bottom right of the dust jacket on the back cover near the spine)

 

First hardcover edition.

 

Originally appeared as a three part serial in Weird Tales magazine in 1939. "Earthman Esau Cairn, a fugitive on his native planet, is transported to Almuric, a barbaric and warlike planet of the remote solar system, where he became Esau Ironhand".

 

This book came from the same OO collection that the Imagination digests did. He also had the Conan editions, but was asking way too much for them so I passed on the set. Might have been a mistake now in hindsight.

The Hannes Bok covers alone make this lot worthwhile!
