The spirit of Robert E. Howard (1906-1936) lives in Conan the Swordsman, a reissue of the 1981 story collection by the late SFWA Grand Master L. Sprague de Camp, in collaboration with Lin Carter and Bjorn Nyberg. An introduction, commentary at the start of each tale and a glossary of Hyborian names put the exploits of the blue-eyed barbarian in context.

Tor continues its reprints of the Conan stories with this 1981 short story collection, which finds the barbarian in eight adventures including "Legions of the Dead," "Shadows in the Dark," "The Ivory Goddess," and "Moon of Blood." This also includes a map of Conan's world and an essay on the character by de Camp. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
