It's Complicated

Message:

Howard creates a new sub genre, Sword and Sorcery. His character has stood the test of time like few others.

Quintessential incel. Lives at home. Sells The Phoenix on the Sword to Weird Tales. Prolific writer. Lets other contemporaries write with his creations. Very communist-writers commune. Early movie planned (Willis Obrien). His mom dies. He kills himself. His father died. He had no true agent. Various people traded the rights. L. Sprague de Camp and Lin Carter paperbacks edited and re-published Lancer, Ace, Tor, etc. Marvel got involved. Arnold made a movie, a good movie. More bad movies follow, tv cartoon, tv show, less comics, new games, cease and desist, orignal stories in Guttenberg.

Copyright laws moved from protecting artist rights to protecting corporate franchises. Blah, blah, blah.

Bottom line forget the past, do not praise the dead while there is still something living to cherish.

Yours,
