Robert E. Howard Foundation Holiday Special 2009.
It contains the first publication of an incomplete and untitled REH story that was tentatively titled “Six Gun Interview” by Glenn Lord. The story is estimated to be half to two-thirds complete based on other stories aimed at similar markets, and the remaining pages are missing. The story was likely written in 1931 and appears to be an attempt to adapt Sailor Steve Costigan’s stories to a western format. The tale appears to be a precursor to the Breckinridge Elkins series.
“Six-Gun Interview” is presented first as a facsimile copy of Howard’s typescript (p. 3), then as a clean, modern copy of the same fragment (p. 15). The Christmas cards on the front and back covers are commercial cards signed by Howard.

Skull-Face is a fantasy novella by American writer Robert E. Howard, which appeared as a serial in Weird Tales, beginning in October 1929, and ending in December, 1929. The story stars a character called Steve Costigan but this is not Howard’s recurring character, Sailor Steve Costigan. The story is clearly influenced by Sax Rohmer’s opus Fu Manchu but substitutes the main Asian villain with a resuscitated Atlantean necromancer (similar to Kull’s bit character Thulsa Doom) sitting at the center of a web of crime and intrigue meant to end White/Western world domination with the help of Asian/semite/African peoples and to re-instate surviving Atlanteans (said to lie dormant in submerged sarcophagi) as the new ruling elite.
