Howard Scholars Bobby Derie, Patrice Louinet, and John Betancourt discuss Robert E. Howard's publishing history with Weird Tales magazine and the creation of some of his best stories.
John Betancourt does a masterful job moderating this panel. Dr. Louinet and Bobby Derie are equally as masterful as panelists, imparting tons of info from memory! This is an excellent panel!
