Description
Robert E. Howard’s Horror One-shot Comic
Original Stories by: Robert E. Howard
Editor: Richard Ashford
Cover by: Steve Lightle
If your only exposure to Robert E. Howard is through Conan the Barbarian, you may be forgiven for thinking he was just a sword and sorcery writer. Howard was in fact, a story-teller who excelled in many genres, including; adventure, comedy, detective and horror. In this horror anthology collection, you can see Howard’s work graphically adapted by Frank Brunner and Gil Kane (among others) all in glorious Black & White.
Artist: Richard Pace
Robert E. Howard was a complex man who could hold contradictory views on the same subject and was able to write passionately about both sides. Throughout his poetry there are examples of both his visions of joy and the pain that haunted him. In “Hope Empty of Meaning” the battle between Shadow and Light can be seen in the same poem. Originally published in 1971.

“The Black Stone”
Writer: Roy Thomas
Artist: Gene Day
A man being gripped with curiosity by a brief reference to the Black Stone in the book Nameless Cults, aka The Black Book, by Friedrich von Junzt. travels to the village of Stregoicavar (“meaning something like Witch-Town”) in the mountains of Hungary. One night and makes his way to the stone. He falls asleep an hour before midnight but wakes to find the chanting and dancing people around the stone. After much dancing, during which the narrator is unable to move or do anything but observe, a baby is killed in sacrifice. Shortly a giant toad-like monster appears at the top of the stone and a second sacrifice, a young girl, is offered to it. Later, upon seeing a toad-monster artifact, he realizes that his “dream” was actually a vision of a real event in history and proclaims… “Man was not always master of the earth”.

“The Horror from the Mound”
Writer: Gardner F. Fox.
Artist: Frank Brunner
A former cowboy, now farmer, named Steve Brill who notices that an old Mexican laborer named Juan Lopez avoids a mound on Brill’s property. Brill learns that during the days of the conquistadors, a small expedition rescued a lone survivor from a ship. The survivor claimed the crew and the rest of the passengers died of plague. He accompanies the expedition to what would become Texas. Then the men start dying, bodies left by the side of the trail drained of blood. Eventually, they find the vampire sleeping in the brush. He’s the survivor. Afraid of waking the creature, they bury it in an old Indian burial mound. Lopez was a descendant of one of the survivors of the expedition. Later, Brill finishes reading to discover the vampire watching him from the window. The creature breaks down the door and Brill fights for his life against the creature.

“The Thing on the Roof”
Writer: Roy Thomas
Artist: Frank Brunner
An archaeologist who is also a book collector is asked by an old rival to find a copy of the obscure first edition of Friedrich Wilheim von Junzt’s Nameless Cults. He may live to regret the favor. Seeking some clue in Von Junzt’s volume, he reads about the Temple of the Toad, of the strange pre-Indian people who worshipped there, and of the huge, tittering, tentacled, hoofed monstrosity that they worshipped. A short while later, something crashed in the stillness and the death-scream of a human being burst upon his ears. Upon bursting through a closed door… the room was in ruins and foul, unspeakable slime smeared monster stood with a man crushed and flattened underneath it.

Writer: Roy Thomas
Artist: Sandy Plunkett
“Death of a Legend” graphically relates the story of Robert E. Howard’s last day on Earth, June 11, 1936.
