Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Robert E. Howard''s legacy extended after his death in 1936. His most famous character, Conan the Cimmerian, is a character whose pop-culture imprint might be compared to such icons as Tarzan of the Apes, Count Dracula, Sherlock Holmes, and James Bond. Howard remains a highly read author, with his best work endlessly reprinted. He has been compared to other American masters of the weird, gloomy, and spectral, such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, and Jack London. In the decades following Howard''s death, he often suffered at the hands of genre critics disdainful of Sword-and-Sorcery, such as Damon Knight, but nevertheless his fame has grown exponentially, fuelled largely by the character of Conan. Arkham House, a revered fantasy publisher started by Weird Tales regulars August Derleth and Donald Wandrei, started the trend by publishing Skull-Faceand Others (1946), one of only four deluxe omnibus volumes in the company''s history.
