A fanzine or periodical edited by Jonathan Bacon from 1977. Issue 12 contains nothing directly by Howard but a round-robin tale based upon a Robert E. Howard fragment. The cover pictures Conan even though it looks more like Tarzan.
Contains Robert E. Howard’s very first letter to Weird Tales.
Contains the Solomon Kane story ‘The Footfalls Within”. It seems to take place after the previous tale, ‘Wings in the Night’
The story opens with Kane coming across the body of a young black woman. The corpse is fresh, and there are marks where whips and shackles have torn her flesh. It doesn’t take long for Kane to catch up with the slavers who killed her. He sees a train of blacks being led away by a group of armed Arabs and other blacks who have allied with them. They’re taking their captives to a slave market. They’re also driving them hard, neither giving them rest breaks nor providing them with ample water.
