Chris Gruber has been involved in Howard Studies for over a
decade and has served on the review board for The Dark Man: The Journal of Robert E. Howard Studies since 2008.
He has authored award-winning essays and introductions that have appeared in
publications such as Boxing Stories, The Cimmerian, REH: Two-Gun Raconteur,
and Echos de Cimmerie. He was the
editor of Boxing Stories by Robert E.
Howard, published by the University of Nebraska Press, and is the co-editor of
the four-volume collection Fists of Iron
by the REH Foundation Press. Chris has also presented his original research for
both academic and popular audiences and has been an instrumental force in
revealing the impact that the “sweet science” has had upon Howard and his fiction.
During this year’s Howard Days celebration don’t forget to
catch the main event, “Fists of the Icehouse,” where visitors can rub cuts and
swap stories with the Three Amigos of
Howard boxing fiction: Chris Gruber, Mark Finn, and Jeff Shanks—this year
joined by stablemate and Guest of Honor Patrice Louinet.
