At one of my area comic shops this weekend, I noticed they had a cache of original
Weird Tales by the register. I hadn't seen them there before, and as soon as the shop owner noticed I was buying Boom Studios' graphic novel of
Hawks of Outremer, he pointed them out to me. (Of course, I had already thumbed through them!)
They had some with Robert E. Howard content and some with H. P. Lovecraft though I don't remember exactly what.
So tempting. But at $90~100 per issue I couldn't personally justify a purchase.
Two of the issues they had;
"The Sea-Witch" by Nictzin Dyalhis wound up in
Echoes of Valor III thanks to Karl Edward Wagner.
Dyalhis was a very fine writer. I really like his work. Those costs are prohibitive.
ReplyDeleteI read Echoes of Valor III years ago and remember liking the Dyalhis stories very much. I've been intending to post a profile on him at some point.
ReplyDeleteI love the covers, but WT is pretty much out of my price range. Maybe some day.
