"Real
Conan Press" never actually existed. This was a booklet prepared in 1997
for presentation to Conan Properties and others for a proposed series of
booklets of the unedited versions of Howard's original Conan stories.
|
Eleven copies were
printed and all but one were mailed out to Conan Properties and several involved
Howard scholars. The idea was rejected, partly because Conan was too hot
a property, and partly because Wandering Star was just entering the picture.
|
The
cover stock is heavy and the interior pages are printed on a tan card stock.
The booklet is untrimmed. The back cover features a rather well known and
notorious cartoon of Conan urinating on Lin Carter's grave, used in what
would have been the logo
for "Real Conan Press."
