  • The Nemedian Chroniclers #22 [WS16]
    REHeapa Winter Solstice 2016 By Lee A. Breakiron A WORLDWIDE PHENOMENON Few fiction authors are as a widely published internationally as Robert E. Howard (e.g., in Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, and Yugoslavian). As former REHupan Vern Clark states: Robert E. Howard has long been one of America’s stalwarts of Fantasy Fiction overseas, with extensive translations of his fiction & poetry, and an ever mushrooming distribution via foreign graphic story markets dating back to the original REH paperback boom of the late 1960’s. This steadily increasing presence has followed the growing stylistic and market influence of American fantasy abroad dating from the initial translations of H.P. Lovecraft’s Arkham House collections in Spain, France, and Germany. The growth of the HPL cult abroad has boded well for other American exports of the Weird Tales school, and with the exception of the Lovecraft Mythos, the fantasy fiction of REH has proved the most popular, becoming an international literary phenomenon with translations and critical publications in Spain, Germany, France, Greece, Poland, Japan, and elsewhere. [1] All this shows how appealing REH’s exciting fantasy is across cultures, despite inevitable losses in stylistic impact through translations. Even so, there is sometimes enough enthusiasm among readers to generate fandom activities and publications. We have already covered those in France. [2] Now let’s take a look at some other countries. GERMANY, AUSTRIA, AND SWITZERLAND The first Howard stories published in German were in the fanzines Pioneer #25 and Lands of Wonder ‒ Pioneer #26 (Austratopia, Vienna) in 1968 and Pioneer of Wonder #28 (Follow, Passau, Germany) in 1969.

  • Conan De Aquilonia Robert E
    Conan de Aquilonia Robert E. Howard Introducción de L. Sprague de Camp y Lim Carter Librodot Conan de Aquilonia Robert E. Howard 2 INTRODUCCIÓN De todos los héroes de la fantasía heroica, el más poderoso, viril y musculoso es sin duda Conan de Cimmeria. Conan fue creado por Robert E. Howard (1906-1936), que nació en Peaster, Texas, pero pasó la mayor parte de su corta vida en Cross Plains, una ciudad del centro de la misma Texas. Durante la última década de su vida, Howard escribió y publicó una gran cantidad de relatos de ficción menores (lo que los norteamericanos llaman pulp fíction) de diversos géneros: deportivos, de detectives, del Oeste, histórico, de ciencia ficción, relatos fantásticos, y cuentos de misterio y de fantasmas. A los treinta años de edad puso fin a una prometedora carrera literaria suicidándose. Howard es uno de los ocho autores de relatos fantásticos cuyas ventas han superado el millón de ejemplares, pero, por desgracia, el éxito le llegó después de su muerte. Howard era un narrador nato, cuyos relatos no han sido superados en cuanto a realismo, interés y dinamismo de la acción. Sus héroes —el rey Kull, Conan, Solomon Kane— tienen carácter mítico: se trata de hombres de músculos poderosos, pasiones ardientes y voluntad indomable, que imponen su personalidad en las historias que protagonizan. Representan el polo opuesto del antihéroe que se ha vuelto tan popular recientemente. Howard escribió varias series de relatos de fantasía heroica (también llamados de «espada y brujería»), publicados en su mayor parte en Weird Tales. Esta revista apareció entre 1923 y 1953, y en tiempos de Howard era la única publicación que daba salida a la literatura fantástica.

  • The Hyborian Review Volume 3, Number 8
    The Hyborian Review Volume 3, Number 8. August 31, 1998 Laboring, I tell ya… Great REH Quotes From The Hour of the Dragon, Howard's full-length Conan tale, written in the spring of 1934, published serially in Weird Tales, December 1935-April 1936. In a small glade below him four soldiers in Nemedian chain-mail were binding a noose about the neck of a gaunt old woman in peasant garb. A heap of fagots, bound with cord on the ground nearby, showed what her occupation had been when surprized by these stragglers. Conan felt slow fury swell his heart as he looked silently down and saw the ruffians dragging her toward a tree whose low- spreading branches were obviously intended to act as a gibbet. He had crossed the frontier an hour ago. He was standing on his own soil, watching the murder of one of his own subjects. The old woman was struggling with surprizing strength and energy, and as he watched, she lifted her head and voiced again the strange, weird, far-carrying call he had heard before. It was echoed as if in mockery by the raven flapping above the trees. The soldiers laughed roughly, and one struck her on the mouth. Conan swung from his weary steed and dropped down the face of the rocks, landing with a clang of mail on the grass… “Dogs!” he said without passion and without mercy. “Do Nemedian jackals set themselves up as executioners and hang my subjects at will? First you must take the head of their king.

Chapter Thirteen: "BANG, RIGHT TO THE MOON" Recently, a group of fierce warriors forced the evil sorcerer Kulan Gath to retreat--but Kulan Gath implied that their victory was a tainted one and that eventually, the warriors would serve him. Conan the Cimmerian managed to escape with Kulan Gath’s amulet of power--the Third Eye of Agamotto. But the amulet drew the attention of Victor Von Doom and Doctor Strange, the latter of whom warned Conan of its dangerous power. Together, the trio tracked Kulan Gath to Egypt. In a battle that nearly cost Strange his life, he discovered that Gath’s amulet was a fake, but it bore a curse that Conan was able to turn against Kulan Gath. Along with Elektra, Strange began gathering a team needed to defeat Kulan Gath——permanently. First they arranged a trade of souls between Daniel Drumm and his sibling Doctor Voodoo to bring the latter back to life. Then, after tracking down Conan in Mexico, they also assembled Wolverine, Black Widow, Daimon Hellstrom and Magik, and prepared for war… Writer Gerry Duggan Artist Patch Zircher Color Artist Java Tartaglia Letterer VC’s Travis Lanham Cover Valerio Giangiordano & Frank D’Armata Variant Cover BossLogic Graphic Designer Carlos Lao Assistant Editor Martin Biro Associate Editor Alanna Smith Editor Tom Brevoort Editor in Chief C.B.

  • By Lee A. Breakiron ONE-SHOT WONDERS
    REHeapa Autumnal Equinox 2015 By Lee A. Breakiron ONE-SHOT WONDERS By definition, fanzines are nonprofessional publications produced by fans of a particular cultural phenomenon, such as a literary or musical genre, for the pleasure of others who share their interests. Readers themselves often contribute to fanzines by submitting their own articles, reviews, letters of comment, and fan fiction. Though the term fanzine only dates from 1940 when it was popularized within science fiction and comic book fandom, the first fanzines actually date back to at least the nineteenth century when, as a uniquely American development, literary groups formed amateur press associations or APAs in order to publish collections of poetry, fiction, and commentary. Few, if any, writers have had as many fanzines, chapbooks, and other ephemera dedicated to them as has Robert E. Howard. Howard himself self-published his own typed “zine,” The Golden Caliph of four loose pages in about August, 1923 [1], as well as three issues of one entitled The Right Hook in 1925 (discussed later). Howard collaborated with his friends Tevis Clyde “Clyde” Smith, Jr., and Truett Vinson in their own zines, The All-Around Magazine and The Toreador respectively, in 1923 and 1925. (A copy of The All-Around Magazine sold for $911 in 2005.) Howard also participated in an amateur essay, commentary, and poetry journal called The Junto that ran from 1928 to 1930, contributing 10 stories and 13 poems to 10 of the issues that survive. Only one copy of this monthly “travelogue” was circulated among all the members of the group.

  • Conan the Barbarian ______
    In Defense of Conan the Barbarian ___________________________________ The Anarchism, Primitivism, & Feminism of Robert Ervin Howard Robert E. Howard has been the subject of numerous media, including several biographies and a movie. He is known and well-remembered as the creator of Conan the Cimmerian Kull of Atlantis, and the Puritan demon-hunter, Solomon Cane. His most famous creation by far, Conan has secured an immoveable foothold in the popular consciousness, and has created an enduring legacy for an author whose career lasted just over a decade. Unfortunately, due mostly to the Schwarzenegger films of the 80s, this legacy- the image of Conan in the public mind- is an undue blemish on a complex, intelligent character, and on Howard himself. In Defense of Conan the Barbarian seeks to invalidate these stereotypes, and to illuminate the social, political, economic, and ethical content of the Howard's original Conan yarns. ANTI-COPYRIGHT 2011 YGGDRASIL DISTRO [email protected] a new addition to Hyborian Scholarship by: yggdrasildistro.wordpress.com Please reprint, republish, & redistribute.

  • Conan of the Isles Introduction
    Tran DF sfo P rm Y e Y r B 2 B . 0 A CONAN OF THE ISLES Click here to buy w w m w co .A B BYY. INTRODUCTION There is a kind of story laid, not in the world as it is or was, but as - to an armchair adventurer - it ought to have been. It is an adventure-fantasy, laid in an imaginary prehistoric or medieval world, where magic works and the scientific revolution has not taken place. Or perhaps it is in some parallel universe, or in this world as it will be in the distant future, when science has been forgotten and magic has revived. In such a world, gleaming cities raise their shining spires against the stars; sorcerers cast sinister spells from subterranean lairs; baleful spirits stalk crumbling ruins; primeval monsters crash through jungle thickets; and .the fate of kingdoms is balanced on bloody broadswords brandished by heroes of preternatural might and valor. In such a world, men are mighty, women are beautiful, life is adventurous, and problems are simple. Nobody even mentions the income tax or the dropout problem or socialized medicine. Such a story is called 'heroic fantasy' or, sometimes, 'sword-and-sorcery.' The purpose of heroic fantasy is neither to solve the problems of the steel industry, nor to expose defects in the foreign-aid program, nor to expound the questions of poverty or intergroup hostility. It is to entertain. It is escape reading in which one escapes clear out of the real universe. But, come to think, these tales are no more 'unreal' than the many whodunnits wherein, after the stupid police have fallen over their own big feet, the brilliant amateur - a private detective, a newspaper reporter., or a little old lady - steps in and solves the crime.
