A chapbook from 1991. Edited by Rusty Burke. 

The Dark Man #2: Journal of Robert E. Howard and Pulp Studies is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal devoted to the academic study of Robert E. Howard’s literary legacy as well as the literary historical and print culture contexts associated with it. The journal seeks to publish full-length articles, brief critical notes and commentaries, bibliographies, reviews of books, and other scholarship that treats Howard’s life, time, literary work, and associated topics such as Weird Tales, H.P. Lovecraft, and the concept of a transhistorical pulp fiction aesthetic.

Songs of Giants: The Poetry of Pulp

SONGS OF GIANTS is a collection of some of the very best poetry written by three giants of pulp literature; Robert E. Howard, Edgar Rice Burroughs and H. P. Lovecraft. In March 2019 Mark Wheatley launched a Kickstarter and it was a giant success. In a short period of time it was funded by 293 backers which pledged $13,415 to bring the project to life.

Wheatley has brought the poems to life with illustrations inspired by the early, classic, golden age of pulp illustrators.
