New Conan Collection: Robert E. Howard, The Weird Tales of Conan the Barbarian, Dover Publications
"Before he conquered books, comics, and movies, Robert E. Howard's immortal character Conan the Cimmerian was born in the pages of the pulp magazine Weird Tales. Reprinted as they originally appeared in that legendary publication from 1934 to 1936, this ferocious anthology gathers many of the barbarian's most famous adventures.
Featured tales include "Red Nails," the tale of a lost city and its corrupt inhabitants; "The Hour of the Dragon," recounting an attempt to depose Conan as king of Aquilonia; and "Beyond the Black River," in which Conan battles the Hyborian Picts. Two additional stories include "The Devil in Iron" and "The People of the Black Circle."

The cover to this book is terrible, how do they allow such things to happen?
I always thought it would be a great idea to have all the Conan stories from Weird Tales collected in about 3 volumes, with Frazetta covers, of course, and no illustrations inside, just the text. Another volume with the 4 complete Conan stories that for whatever reason did not make it, a kinda 'Lost Tales of Conan' volume. Then a final volume/volumes with fragments, synopsis earlier drafts etc...
