I've always distrusted collaborations and posthumous continuations, and I could never tell from the Lancer/Ace presentations which was which. Howard-who I knew created Conan-was of course always there, but inevitably his name was accompanied by L. One of the reasons I never explored Conan's world is that every Lancer/Ace volume I examined in the bookstore sported the name of at least two authors, sometimes three. Unlike the numerous Lancer/Ace paperbacks available to me in the '60's and '70's-the ones with the really cool Frank Frazetta illustrations-this edition does things right. Howard's Conan stories, I am glad I had the good fortune to purchase the three volume, fully illustrated, Del Rey collection.
