ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FANTASY MANUSCRIPTS EVER TO HAVE COME ON THE MARKET
HOWARD, ROBERT E. Black Colossus
Original manuscript. [c.1933]. Ribbon-copy typescript, fifty-one 8 ½ X 11-inch leaves, typed double space.
Inscribed in ink at top of first leaf: “To R. H. Barlow with the best wishes of [signed] Robert E. Howard."
Staple holes in margins of all leaves, last leaf has a very short tear with creasing in margin (not affecting text), leaves
tan but NOT brittle, otherwise in near fine condition. Foliated and complete. Each leaf is contained in an archival
clear plastic "L" sleeve and housed in a handsome portfolio with ribbon tie. Provenance: The manuscript was
obtained by August Derleth from the estate of Robert H. Barlow, sold by Derleth to Robert Meracle in 1970, sold by
Meracle in 1999 to the collector from whom Barry R. Levin obtained it in 2008. With a photocopy of August Derleth's
letter of 21 November 1967 offering the manuscript to Meracle, a signed letter of provenance from Robert Meracle
dated 5 / 7 / 99, and a signed letter of provenance from Barry R. Levin dated May 22, 2008. Thus giving us an
unbroken chain of provenance back to Robert H. Barlow to whom the manuscript was inscribed.
Conan the Barbarian's creator, Robert E. Howard is undoubtedly the rarest and hardest modern fantasy author's
autograph to obtain. Most known surviving examples of his autograph are in pencil. Here we have a Conan story
signed and inscribed in ink. Howard died before any of his Conan stories could be printed in book form making this
signed Conan piece especially important. One of the most important modern fantasy manuscripts ever to have
come on the market.

Original pen and ink drawing on paper for the cover art (and frontispiece) for the first edition of MARS MOUNTAIN by Eugene George Key. The work is titled "Dorothy Marie Nelson." MARS MOUNTAIN is considered to be the first science fiction specialty press book. Published by Fantasy Pubs. in Everett, Pennsylvania, in 1935. Chalker & Owings state on page 165 of THE SCIENCE-FANTASY PUBLISHERS: "...right here, that everything starts -- the first attempt by any publisher anywhere to produce commercially viable publications devoted exclusively to fantasy and science fiction." So this is the original cover art for the first science fiction specialty press book. Science fiction art does not get any more historically important than this.

FORGED LETTERED STATE
KING, STEPHEN. The Stand: The Complete and Uncut Edition
New York: Doubleday, 1990. First edition thus, FORGED LETTERED STATE. Signed by King and Bernie Wrightson, the book's illustrator. This book was originally limited to 52 LETTERED copies and 1,250 NUMBERED copies. With about 20 out-of-series (unlettered and unnumbered) copies produced to provide back-up in case of damage to in-series copies. This copy was one of the rare (20 or less) out-of-series back-up copies to which someone added the letters "AP" to the limitation page, in an attempt to make this copy look like one of the 52 "LETTERED" copies. The forger did not know that the lettered copies had been marked "A" to "Z" and "AA" to "ZZ". No "AP" copy was ever produced. What we have here is an authentic limited edition, with authentic autographs, but which is a FORGED "LETTERED" state (or an authentic but altered rare out-of-series copy). Bound in full leather, all edges gilt, and housed in a red cloth-lined wooden box with lid. The plate on the lid is in the "black with brass lettering" state. Fine in original glassine dust jacket and fine publisher's box.
