Howard wrote \"over three-hundred stories and seven-hundred poems of raw power and unbridled emotion\" and is especially noted for his memorable depictions of \"a sombre universe of swashbuckling adventure and darkling horror.\" He is well known for having created - in the pages of the legendary Depression-era pulp magazine Weird Tales - the character Conan the Cimmerian, a.k.a. Conan the Barbarian, a literary icon whose pop-culture imprint can be compared to such icons as Tarzan of the Apes, Sherlock Holmes, and James Bond. Between Conan and his other heroes Howard created the genre now known as sword-andsorcery in the late 1920s and early 1930s, spawning a wide swath of imitators and giving him an influence in the fantasy field rivaled only by J.R.R. Tolkien and Tolkien's similarly inspired creation of the modern genre of High Fantasy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Ervin Howard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1986446794\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781986446792\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/12\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.06d","brand":"Robert Ervin Howard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984111042815,"sku":"9781986446792","price":6.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cdf91c34-c7d8-4bcc-bdcb-a8454f37b870.jpg?v=1683270553","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pigeons-from-hell-robert-ervin-howard-9781986446792","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
