Description: THE FANTASTIC WORLDS OF ROBERT E. HOWARD edited by James Van Hise (Second printing, January 2001). Mint condition quality squarebound paperback. 8 1/2 x 11, 192 pages. Full color covers. Back cover by Roy Krenkel of his famous King Kull painting (reproduced from the original art). This non-fiction book has many articles about REH and his work, plus it is liberally illustrated with art by Steve Fabian, Bill Stout, Gary Gianni, Ned Dameron, Richard Corben, Rick McCollum and many more, including illos which first appeared with Howard stories in the Weird Tales pulp. There is also a massive overview of the REH biofilm THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD including exclusive interviews with the stars, the director and the screenwriter (more coverage on this film than can be found anywhere else). "The Expurgated Solomon Kane" by Steve Trout is a 12 page article which reveals that when Donald M. Grant published the book RED SHADOWS he made more than 100 changes in the text to censor what he thought modern readers might find offensive (mostly racial references). But the book was not identified as abridged and the text remained censored for many years until Grant's censorship was exposed and the text was restored by returning to the versions published in WEIRD TALES. Steve's article examines the text in the original edition of RED SHADOWS and goes story by story to examine the changes compared to what the original Howard text should be.
