I agree. Howard is a very good addition to the list. Creator of Conan the Barbarian, he practically invented sword and sorcery as a sub-genre. He’s still extremely popular and very collectible.

I’ve had a couple of other private comments on the list and I’ve noticed most people seem to think I was trying to compile a comprehensive list of collectible or “best” authors. That was not my intention.

I wanted to limit the list to a reasonable number of collectible authors and twenty seemed like a manageable count. There are a great many wonderful, collectible authors that I didn’t include. I was hoping that anyone who wished to would, like you, suggest others who belonged on the list along with a few words as to why they should be included and which works to look at that highlight the author’s work.

With Howard I would probably cite the early Solomon Kane and King Kull stories, possibly the stories he wrote in Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos and, of course, the Conan books. Any others you would single out?
