Ever since I was 13 I've wanted to visit this house in Cross Plains, TX. I was on a road trip to El Paso to see my new grandchild, and Cross Plains is only about 20 minutes south of I-20. Plus we got to see a nice longhorn herd to boot! Scratch that off my bucket list!   |

It only took 40 years to get there but I'm glad for the experience! Had a chance to say a little prayer and reflect while there. I've been hardcore into Howard, Tolkien, Lovecraft, Heinlein and Weird Tales authors in general all my life. Also EC and Bronze Age Marvel/DC comics. Which time period is heavily saturated with REH and Fritz Lieber comics of course!  |

Yeah, I've watched several of the REH Days videos on YouTube. Maybe one day . . . I'm sure I'd enjoy it!! I've been on a little spree on ebay lol. I had this Grant Hardcover edition of Kull stories:  So I bought a tight VF copy of the 1967 Lancer paperback to read without fear of dustjacket damage: Roy G. Krenkel cover!   And the rest just for fun! (Dark Phantasms #1, Amra V2 #63 and The Cthulhu Stories): 
I still love print lol!
