Savage Sword Of Conan (Created By Robert E. Howard)

About the Author

Robert E. Howard, the visionary creator of Conan the Barbarian, was a prolific American author born in 1906 in Peaster, Texas, whose tales of sword and sorcery revolutionized pulp fiction during the early 20th century. Drawing from his fascination with ancient history, mythology, and the raw untamed wilderness, Howard crafted a rugged hero in Conan—a towering Cimmerian warrior navigating a brutal prehistoric world filled with fierce battles, dark magic, and exotic perils. Though Howard's life was tragically short, ending in 1936, his enduring legacy lives on through adaptations like the iconic comic series SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN The Barbarian: August, Aug. 1980, #55, which vividly captures the savage spirit of his original stories. Howard's work continues to inspire generations of fantasy enthusiasts with its unyielding portrayal of heroism and adventure.
