“Conan the Barbarian” 2008 printing by EASTON PRESS.
“Conquering Sword of Conan, The” 2005 printing by DEL REY.

“Red Sonja” (Dir. Richard Fleischer, 1985; blu-ray, 2010 UK release)
Sidenote: The Red Sonja with which most of us know is not Howard’s Sonya, rather it is the creation of Marvel writers, Roy Thomas & Barry Smith. They took inspiration from a smaller character by Howard, Red Sonya of Rogatino, whom belonged in an entirely different age with different fiction–though had the titular red hair and flaming temperance, which the Marvel duo took and placed in Howard’s Hyborian Age, mainly to make a sexy female Conan.

OMNIUMGATHUM
A MISCELLANY of VERSE by the likes of HOWARD, LOVECRAFT, KLARKASHTON, and many OTHERS.
A limited press booklet printed by the STYGIAN ISLAND PRESS, 1976.
I’ve included two by Howard, a most unrecognised poet. He has done most extraordinary work which goes largely forgotten, lost in the sinews of CONAN’s haunch. A tale I read by him recently was “Ye College Days”, a most satirical and ballsy stab at Academic life, a farce which truly excites and stings like acid.

HOUSEHOLD GODS,
WHIRLPOOL
Obscure editions by First Impressions, 1993
The only work by CROWLEY I recommend as it isn’t mumbo jumbo that may corrupt your mind with foolery and nonsense, but rather a neat, poetical play–wickedly witty.
As for Ethel Archer and her poems—she sure was insane, but it’s always intriguing to study the verse of a fanatic.

BIG DAMN SIN CITY
FRANK MILLER’s MASTERPIECE done justice with this oversized DARK HORSE release.
BOOBS, BALLS, and BULLETS—one of the greatest comic series ever put to the page, ultra-stylised with MILLER’s trademark meaty contours and outlines. A sendup to the noir comic strips and shows of ago, SIN CITY tells the stories of all matter of vices; and the heroes that strike against the sin have sins of their own—making it a true work of intrigue.
