Startling Mystery Stories #4 (volume 1 number 4). Contains THE SECRET OF LOST VALLEY.
Included with the story are (1) a copy of the letter from Clayton Magazines returning the typescript, after STRANGE TALES folded, and (2) a copy of the first page of the original typescript, showing the title as “Valley of the Lost”, complete with editorial markups from the magazine.
The February 1934 issue of STRANGE DETECTIVE STORIES carried two stories by REH: “The Tomb’s Secret” and “Fangs of Gold”. It appears that the story titles were inadvertently switched. Howard’s agent, Otis Adelbert Kline, kept a list of titles and the magazines that purchased them.
Above “The Teeth of Doom” on Kline’s list, someone added “The Tomb’s Secret” and above “The People of the Serpent” on Kline’s list, someone added “Fangs of Gold.”
Fantastic Universe Volume 4 Number 5. Contains CONAN, MAN OF DESTINY which is a story based on a final draft (now at Cross Plains Public Library) that L. Sprague de Camp found and rewrote as “Conan, Man of Destiny,” then later published as THE ROAD OF THE EAGLES.
