Just to start a new thread, do you think Frazetta
really helped bring Howard back in the 60s, 70s and
80s with his breath-taking covers? LSDC didn't think
so, of course he woulda liked to take that credit, but
if not who do u think did help? Aside from the
readers that is.
You know... I think it was a combination of things..the Frazetta covers helped...but I think it was a combination fantasy/scifi/adventure boom spearheaded by Tolkein, Burroughs, and then the other fantasy authors of the 20's and 30's ...I think Howard took off then because of his own vivid writing...plus the 60's generation was discovering the fantasy literature that had been pretty much spurned in the 50's...
But I could just be mirroring/telescoping? my own experience which was Tolkein to Burroughs to Howard to Lovecraft to Smith etc. etc.
I do know that I had been reading Howard for a few years before the comics came out....
