Writer
Robert E. Howard
Created Solomon Kane, Kull, and Conan in these pages. Died in 1936 at thirty.
Howard was born 22 January 1906 in Peaster, Texas, and died 11 June 1936 in Cross Plains, Texas. Red Shadows (Weird Tales, August 1928) is the first Solomon Kane story. The Shadow Kingdom (August 1929) is the first King Kull story. Both precede Conan (December 1932).
He wrote those cycles for this magazine. Bran Mak Morn belongs to the same run.
Public-domain texts are in the Weird Library. Conan first appeared after 1930 and is not hosted there yet. This page does not host the stories.
