  PURCHASES & ACQUISITIONS
  
  Del Rey has acquired the rights to five books of the best of Robert E. Howard. Referred to as "certainly among the best" writers of heroic fantasy by Charles de Lint, Howard's work has been praised by such varied sources as Harry Turtledove, Stephen King and Eric Nylund. To be included in the Del Rey editions are all of the Conan stories in three volumes, all of the Solomon Kane stories in one volume, and all of the Bran Mak Morn stories in one volume. These will reprint the contents of the beautifully illustrated editions published out of England by Wandering Star Books, and will include all of their black and white illustrations by Gary Gianni and Mark Schultz. The first book, CONAN OF CIMMERIA, is slated for Fall 2003, with Solomon Kane scheduled for Spring 2004.

  Good news. I've been hunting down out-of-print copies of Howard's fiction, and its not easy. Hopefully this will help!

  Depending on what you are looking for, it may or may not be that hard. The WT versions of Conan are available in the Fantasy Masterpieces series which you can buy at http://www.amazon.co.uk or from Mythos books.
  The Berkeley reprints and Zebra editions of the El Borak and boxing stories crop up regularly on eBay for reasonable prices. Paul herman has reprinted the Breckinridge Elkins stories that have passed into the public domain.

  Saw this in my DRIN earlier in the month, this is great news. I've got the Science Fiction Book Club ominbus from a couple of years back - The Essential Conan and it is great.
  
  Hopefully, this will get some of the newer fans of fantasy into REHs work.

  While Amazon has botched the damn title, they are taking pre-orders
  on a new REH collection entitled WATERFRONT FISTS. It is a collection
  of REH's boxing stories, several of which haven't been re-printed since their original pulp appearance (or if they were in really limited chapbooks). The ISBN is

  This review is about 1.5-2 yrs. old, but it seems to escaped comment here at the forum...

  #########################
  
  
  For a long time there has been too much Conan. It is therefore good to be able to welcome these two new volumes from England, which give us a lot less Conan than hitherto. There is almost nothing in The Conan Chronicles--confusingly, this title has been used before (see below)--except original versions of the Conan stories Robert E. Howard wrote "during his lifetime," almost all of them for Weird Tales.
  
  There are no "collaborations."
  
  There are no continuations by other hands of story notes Howard wrote on the last shirt cuff he wore before shooting himself in the head at the age of 30.
  
  There are no sequels by other hands.
  
  Four stories Howard did not finish are included, but seem to be presented here in versions as close as possible to the original rough or partial drafts. One must say "seem" because Stephen Jones, a British anthologist of quite ferocious energy, has been astonishingly demure about his role as editor in assembling these two volumes.
  
  
  It is, in fact, an odd performance on the part of Jones and his publishers, though parts of the puzzle are less confusing than they look. Volume 1 was issued in 2000 by Millennium, an imprint of Victor Gollancz, which is itself an imprint of Orion. Volume 2 appeared a year later as a Gollancz book, after the Millennium imprint had been phased out, presumably because it had begun to sound like Twentieth Century Fox; so both volumes do come from the same home.

  Robert E. Howard is best known for creating Conan the Barbarian, but connoisseurs of his adventure fiction tend to prefer the work now gathered in The Savage Tales of Solomon Kane (Del Rey; paperback, $15.95). Kane is a Puritan swordsman, ever fighting the forces of evil, whether human or demonic. He reminds me of Van Helsing in the recent movie of that name. Howard's prose aspires to the melodramatic, not to say histrionic, but its period kitschiness inspires affection. When Solomon Kane, that wanderer, that landless man, stumbles across a wounded young girl, she has time to tell him only of her rape before she dies.
