So @rtw is a legend and sent me these MINTY Conan books- these are straight from the 1960s. I never see Conan books at thrift, and these are officially the first real, original Conan books I own - I only had a newer compilation, and I'm a massive Robert E. Howard fan. Thank you SO much, dude!! 🔥

This week on Deep Cuts in a Lovecraftian Vein we switch tracks briefly to look at "Women and Robert E. Howard" (1975) by Harold Preece, and reflect on how early fans and scholars treated the women in Howard's life.

A raffle by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society for the restoration of Robert E. Howard (the Conan author)'s historical house (which is currently a museum dedicated for his life and work).
From time to time, the HPLHS conducts a raffle to raise funds for a great cause. It came to our attention that the home of Robert E. Howard in Cross Plains, Texas is in serious need of restoration and needs funds to do it. So we've reached out to some friends in the community and assembled our biggest prize package yet.
Who was Robert E. Howard? He was a friend and correspondent of H.P. Lovecraft. He was a fellow author of pulp fiction. And where Lovecraft created Cthulhu, Howard created Conan the Barbarian, Red Sonja, Solomon Kane and other great characters in his all-too-short writing career. The Robert E. Howard Foundation maintains his home as a museum in Texas. Time has taken its toll on the house, and together we can raise some money to help with its restoration.

Conan – Sort lotus
Jeg indrømmer det: Conan er en tegneseriehelt – på allerbedste vis. Jeg ved godt, at han i 1932 første gang trådte den glemte verden under sine sandalklædte fødder, da Robert E. Howard fik udgivet en novelle i bladet Weird Tales. Men i mit hjerte vil den ÆGTE Conan altid optræde som tegneseriefigur, i Barry Windsors Smiths streg og med horn på sin hjelm.
Men den originale barbar kommer dog i det mindste ind på en andenplads, hvor han kan se hånligt ned på bl.a. Arnold Schwarzenegger og Jason Momoa. For ikke at nævne et hav af efterligninger.
21 noveller blev til til, før Howard døde i 1936, men de historier har levet deres eget liv siden, og Conan er dukket op igen og igen i forskellige udtryksformer. De sidste få år har vi på dansk nydt godt af en række tegneserier, ligesom forlaget Pilgaard har oversat et udvalg – nu har forlaget Escho også meldt sig på banen med en lækker udgivelse, der under titlen “Conan – sort lotus” giver os fem gode omgang sword and sorcery. Og det sker i så lækker udstyr, at den afskar min cirklen om den samlede udgave af Conans eventyr, så jeg i stedet kastede mig over det udvalg, som Anders Jørgen Mogensen har stået for i “Conan – Sort lotus”.
Conan er en cimmerianer, en barbar, der rejser rundt i verden i tiden efter Atlantis’ fald. Der har han en tendens til at møde troldmænd, monstre og letpåklædte kvinder. Sidstnævnte redder han, mens de to andre gerne har skæbnesvangre møder med hans sværd. Det er med andre ord hårdslående fantasy med masser af heltegerninger og svulmende muskler – “civilisationskritik pakket ind i ramasjang”, fortæller forlaget, og det er uden tvivl muligt at læse det sådan; men det er nu under ramasjang, at den tykke, sorte streg er. Og det er ganske fornøjeligt.
“Conan – sort lotus” giver os fem af barbarens eventyr: Elefantens tårn, Den sorte kysts dronning, Skumringens Xuthal, Den sorte rings folk og Røde søm; de rækker fra korte, slagkraftige noveller til Elefantens tårn, der fylder 36 sider i bogen, til Den sorte rings folks 114 sider, og de anbringer Conan i flere forskellige situationer. Han er tyv, sørøver, kriger – men fælles for dem alle er, at de anbringer ham på kollisionskurs med døden; og Conan møder den uden frygt.
Det er med andre ord en stemningsfuld omgang testosteron-suppe, der er på menuen, når man sætter sig ned med barbaren. Howard er på den ene side lige på og hård i handlingen, men også dvælende og dryppende af ældgamle tider i sit sprogbrug, og de to fungerer godt sammen. Nu er jeg ikke den store fantasy-læser, men “Conan – Sort lotus” giver god storladen epik uden at forfalde til endelæse serier, og det er en gave i sig selv – for både fantasy- og horrorelskere.
