Robert howard was a pulp writer and this is drawn from his by the word writing for various publishers. L. Sprague de Camp edited this volume for the Lancer books reprints. The plot lines are simple. Conan needs money and has lost the girl he had at the end of the last one...so he struggles, usually with an enchanter who must at some point be present in material form. Conan see, Conan chops! Conan rescues girl. Reset, buy next issue. (
