THE MOON OF SKULLS & THE HAND OF KANE

by Robert E. Howard; cover illustrations by Jeff Jones

Centaur Press, First Paperback Printings, 1969/1970

Condition: About Very Good

 

Before creating Conan, Robert E. Howard's first sword and sorcery hero was Puritan adventurer Solomon Kane.  The seven stories in these two books represent the first paperback publication of all the Kane stories.  (Centaur published one more book containing the remaining tales.)  The  books were part of Centaur's Time-Lost series, reprinting pulp stories that had been neglected since their first publication.  MOON has  spine lean and the more prominent reading creases; both books have some cover rubbing.  There is a bookstore name and price stamped on the first page of each.
