Table of Contents

Robert E. Howard's spectacular and original hero, Conan the barbarian adventurer and fighting-man, has captured the fancy of our readers by his brilliant exploits and his utter humanness. He has seized the place in popular esteem that was formerly held by Mr. Howard's earlier heroes, Solomon Kane the English Puritan, and King Kull of the fabled land of Valusia. Rough, and at times uncouth, Conan is a primitive man, who will brave almost certain death against terrific odds to rescue a damsel in distress; yet he will just as quickly give her a resounding slap on the posterior or drop her into a cesspool if she displeases him. But rude though he is, he possesses a sort of primordial chivalry and an innate reverence for womanhood that make him wholly fascinating. Fighting, stabbing, dealing swiff death in red combat, Conan is a truly striking and heroic figure. We are pleased to present him herewith for the first time in a novel- length story: "The People of the Black Circle."
