The Raven #1
Publication date: December 1981
Introduction
The Raven is a fanzine created and published by Thomas Kovacs. The sort of prequel was Wolfshead.
Raven has a lot of Howard stuff and contains most of my Kovacs early translations and self made illustrations from 40 years ago. Thomas Kovacs was 21 at the time and at the beginning of his Howard "career". He had intense correspondence with Glenn Lord which lasted decades until Glenn’s death. Raven has even the very first Hungarian translation of a Howard poem in it. The heading tho „The Thing on the Roof“ was translated by my older brother at that time.
