From the Robert E. Howard archives comes a wealth of never before
seen material: contextual notes, synopses, plot outlines, initial
drafts, original ideas, notes, even Howard's own hand-drawn maps
of the Hyborian world -- everything Conan's creator ever wrote
about the greatest barbarian adventurer of all time!
Of special note is the previously unpublished first version of
Howard's debut Conan tale, "The Phoenix on the Sword."
This is the original draft which Howard initially submitted to
Weird Tales Magazine, and which was later condensed and rewritten
by Howard for publication.
The never before seen material in this book sheds new light on
Conan, his personality, and the genesis of the character by one
of the most creative literary minds of the 1930's, Robert E. Howard.
From Wandering Star comes a signed, limited edition collectable
equal to the best illustrated classics. The finest craftsmen,
artists, and designers have produced a masterpiece that promises
to be a crown jewel in any library.
The first book in a three volume set, textually restored and
meticulously researched by Howard scholar Patrice Louinet, with
original illustrations and stunning new full color oil paintings
from award-winning artist Mark Schultz.
