  <about><![CDATA[Robert Ervin Howard was an American pulp writer of fantasy, horror, historical adventure, boxing, western, and detective fiction. Howard wrote &quot;over three-hundred stories and seven-hundred poems of raw power and unbridled emotion&quot; and is especially noted for his memorable depictions of &quot;a sombre universe of swashbuckling adventure and darkling horror.&quot;

He is well known for having created — in the pages of the legendary Depression-era pulp magazine Weird Tales — the character Conan the Cimmerian, a.k.a. Conan the Barbarian, a literary icon whose pop-culture imprint can only be compared to such icons as Tarzan of the Apes, Count Dracula, Sherlock Holmes, and James Bond.
