Robert E. Howard, the creator of modern Sword and Sorcery fantasy, who gave us the immortal Conan the Barbarian, as well as Bran Mak Morn King of the Picts, King Kull, and loads of other sword swinging heroes, was born this day, January 22, in 1906. Fantasy writers and readers owe this man an unpayable debt.
