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.

The first edition was priced at $8.50.
The second edition was priced at $10.
The second edition added the ISBN and was a slightly larger size for listings on Amazon.com.
The second edition cover is from BARACK THE BARBARIAN #2 published by Devil's Due Publishing in July 2009.
The second edition cover was actually designed first and then not used because of the political association. When the need for a second edition arose, the cover was resurrected.
