Happy Birthday Robert E. Howard!


January 22nd is the 112th anniversary of the birth of Ol' Two-Gun Bob Howard!

A tradition we started years ago is on his birthday, read some Howard and enjoy your favorite libation. As we know, there is a lot of Howard to be read and there are a lot of libations to enjoy!

Enjoy your day...Happy Birthday, Bob.
