Although most well known for his Conan stories, Howard restrict his writing to Hyborean fantasy. Up until Conan and Kull, he wrote a lot of historical adventures. He originally created the setting of his Hyborean Age so that he could write "historical" fiction without having to extensive and time consuming historical research. So India became Wendiha, etc.
Well Howards Conan stories are coming back into print in their original forms. Fortunately, that isn't where it stops. It seems the University of Nebraska Press is putting out collections of his Westerns, boxing stories, and crusades fiction. Excellent.
