CONAN

The first complete edition in paperback, which compiled the current Howard and Howard stories together with the new non-Howard stories in chronological order, to form a complete picture of the life of Conan. Lancer Books went out of business before bringing out the whole series, the publication of which was completed by Ace Books. This version of the stories that Conan was introduced into popular culture. Its covers featured dynamic images by Frank Frazetta that, for many fans, has presented the impression "definitive" Conan and his world. For decades, most other portraits Cimmerian and his imitators were heavily influenced by the paintings of coverage of this series. [Citation needed]
Undertaken under the direction of De Camp and Carter, this edition includes all the original Howard, including that left unpublished in his lifetime and fragments and contours. De Camp and Carter kept much of the material and completed the stories that were not in finished form. New stories written entirely by themselves have been added as well. In the following list, volumes 6 and 11-12 do not contain any materials from Howard. Thirty-five stories of the other eight volumes, nineteen have been published or completed by Howard during his life, ten are rewritten and completed by his manuscripts, fragments or synopses, and six are exclusive to De Camp and Carter.
While the Lancer edition was criticized by the scientific point of view not to present a pure version of the stories by Howard, untampered with by other hands, the interest of those who treated him was not so purist as practical, to popularize the corpus and ensure that it sold. Who immediately become the subject of scholarly attention is ample evidence of their success. [Citation needed]
