Download or read book The Tale of Sailor Steve Costigan A Collection of Short Stories written by Robert E. Howard and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2015-02-12 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These early works by Robert E. Howard were originally published in the early 20th century and we are now republishing them with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Tale of Sailor Steve Costigan' is a compilation of Howard's short stories in the Sailor Steve Costigan series and include 'The Pit of the Serpent', 'Breed of Battle', 'Sailors' Grudge', and many more. Robert Ervin Howard was born in Peaster, Texas in 1906. During his youth, his family moved between a variety of Texan boomtowns, and Howard - a bookish and somewhat introverted child - was steeped in the violent myths and legends of the Old South. At fifteen Howard began to read the pulp magazines of the day, and to write more seriously. The December 1922 issue of his high school newspaper featured two of his stories, 'Golden Hope Christmas' and 'West is West'. In 1924 he sold his first piece - a short caveman tale titled 'Spear and Fang' - for $16 to the not-yet-famous Weird Tales magazine. Howard's most famous character, Conan the Cimmerian, was a barbarian-turned-King during the Hyborian Age, a mythical period of some 12,000 years ago. Conan featured in seventeen Weird Tales stories between 1933 and 1936 which is why Howard is now regarded as having spawned the 'sword and sorcery' genre. The Conan stories have since been adapted many times, most famously in the series of films starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Download or read book Vikings of Gloves written by Robert E. Howard and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-11-13 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sailor Steve Costigan is a merchant sailor on the Sea Girl and is also its champion boxer. His only true companion is a bulldog named Mike (after his brother and fellow boxer, "Iron" Mike Costigan). Costigan, one of Howard's humorous boxing pulp heroes, roamed the Asiatic seas with fists of steel, a will of iron, and a head of wood. A striking contrast between Howard's barbarians and swordsmen, Costigan was a modern-day character, written in a humorous, Texas tall tale style. This edition includes: The 'Sailor Steve Costigan' Stories: The Pit of the Serpent The Bull-Dog Breed Sailor's Grudge Fist and Fang The Iron Man Winner Take All Waterfront Fists Champ of the Forecastle Alleys of Peril The TNT Punch Texas Fists The Sign of the Snake Blow The Chinks Down!

Download or read book Waterfront Fists and Others written by Robert E. Howard and published by Wildside Press LLC. This book was released on 2004-11-01 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is impossible to ignore the sheer number of boxing stories that Robert E. Howard wrote. Serious or funny, spooky or adventurous, these stories represent a fierce creative outburst that would pave the way later for his western hero, Breckenridge Elkins. In these stories we see Howard's craft pushed from mere construction to passionate involvement. He took all of his interests and peppered them through the various boxing stories. He wrote them faster than the magazine could print them. Clearly, he loved what he was doing. When Howard could write no more, he went on to draft Conan and the aforementioned Elkins, who owes much in style and content to the Costigan stories. The fight stories are a joy to read and reread. They are funny, bawdy, picaresque, and violent. Presented here, as they were originally printed, they perfectly showcase why Robert E. Howard was one of the greatest adventure writers of the 20th century.
