Where they origionally Plup mags? I think Wiki says they were but I could have misunderstood it. If so, well my father has a couple 100 pulp mags and I'll need to check if there are any Conan stories in em...

--In MMORPG's l007 is the opiate of the masses.
--The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence!
--CCP could cut off an Eve player's fun bits, and that player would say that it was good CCP did that.

Played Wow, D and L, AOC, GW, Eve, Rift and many more insignificant games.
Wow! That was one hell of an answer!

"The Phoenix on the Sword" was Robert E. Howard's first published Conan tale in the Weird Tales December 1932 printing. Other stories such as "Black Colossus", "The Scarlet Citadel", "The Tower of the Elephant", and "The Devil in Iron" had all seen print in Weird Tales by August of 1934. A large portion of Howard's tales didn't get published until after his death in 1936.
"The Hall of the Dead," "The Hand of Nergal," "The Snout in the Dark," "Drums of Tombalku," and "Wolves Beyond the Border" were Howard fragments finished by de Camp and/or Lin Carter. "The Thing in the Crypt" and "The City of Skulls", "The Curse of the Monolith", "The Lair of the Ice Worm", "Black Tears" and "The Castle of Terror" were written by L. Sprague de Camp and Lin Carter.
"The Blood-stained God" was originally a Howard story called "The Trail of the Blood-stained God", but was re-written by L. Sprague de Camp into a Conan story. The tale of "Hawks over Shem" was originally a Howard story called "Hawks over Egypt" re-written into a Conan story by L. Sprague de Camp.
"The Road of the Eagles" was originally a Howard story of the same name but re-written by L. Sprague de Camp. Also, "The Flame Knife" was originally a Howard story set in Afghanistan around 1930, and was re-written by de Camp into a Conan tale.
Tor Publishing published new Conan tales beginning with "Conan the Invincible" in 1982 by Robert Jordan.
"If my hands were free," opined Conan, "I'd soon make a brainless corpse out of you."

Great info
The Pulps were 10-20 years too late, 40's-50's. Bought the books The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian and The Bloody Crown of Conan, and dam so far so good.
