Appendix: Notes on the Original Howard Texts - essay by Rusty Burke and Rob Roehm

I can understand that they had to pad this with some Kane stories to reach the same length as the other books. But to put Kane on the cover is a serious misstep in an otherwise nice edition. Especially as this was solicitated with another cover. (Which wasn´t that brillant either, but still better)
