Introduction

Dennis McHaney explores Howard's time with the legendary Weird Tales. The book includes what the readers of the magazine thought though the letters column, The Eyrie, and letters from Howard to his friends and correspondents and their comments to Howard. The book is heavily illustrated in color, showing the cover of every issue containing Howard, the first page of the story, and much more. If the "first page" is a poem, that verse is present.

It also includes several letters REH wrote to Weird Tales, readers' comments, and reactions to REH stories.
