Introduction

Coven 13, January 1970 (Volume 1, Number 3).

Contains THE LITTLE PEOPLE. Illustrated by William Stout. This is the first publication of this story. A page was missing from the original manuscript of “The Little People.” Someone at COVEN 13, likely Gerald W. Page or Arthur H. Landis, made up some stuff to fill the gap and never said anything. This became the published version of “The Little People” ever since. The Wandering Star book, BRAN MAK MORN, THE LAST KING, took the edits back out and also includes a copy of the original typescript.

Notes

Editor: Arthur H. Landis

Stated "Vol. 1, No. 2." even though the November 1969 issues was also published as "Vol. 1, No. 2". The next, March 1970, issues was billed as "Vol. 1, No. 4", so this issue was presumably supposed to be "Vol. 1, No. 3".

All interior art explicitly attributed to William Stout.
The page count is 148 rather than the more common 144.
Stated first publication of Robert E. Howard's "The Little People". ''Let There Be Magick! (Part 3 of 4)'' is advertised as part 3 of 5, but the serial was completed in 4 installments.
