Creator of Conan.

It was Donald Grants deluxe editions of Howards work that brought the publisher to Kings attention.

Anybody else read his work?
I have pretty much a dream collection of Grant first editions, Marvel comics and even 3 issues of the Howard Collector ( if you know what that is, you'll know what I mean ).
My most prized Howard piece is a photo copy of the original typed manuscript for " The God in the Bowl " complete with editor notes from Weird Tales. I had exchanged letters with Glenn Lord the author of " The Last Celt " who was in possession of many original Howard works, and he provided me the copy.

Well holy shit ATG--what a fun thread.

I am a huge Conan fan and one of the graphic novels I got for Christmas was a retelling of that God in a Bowl" story, it was wonderful.

I am literally drooling over your collection of Howard stuff and that little tibit about that being what brought King to Grant is amazing

I have these pix because I was thinking about selling these on ebay. Besides, if a Howard fan had these things I would be interested in seeing them, so here you go, I'm not meaning to brag.
