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.
