From the publisher:

Robert E. Howard Art Chronology is an illustrative history of all Howard's publications in the United States (with a heavy dose of art from the United Kingdom). Written and compiled by Michael Tierney, edited by Rusty Burke, and officially licensed and sanctioned by Robert E. Howard Properties LLC, Inc.

This 1,500 page examination of the vast publishing illustrative history of Robert E. Howard is divided into four parts:

Volume 1: The Pulps

Volume 2: The Books

Volume 3: Comics Part 1

Volume 4: Comics Part 2

This project is as much a narrative history of REH's publications as it is a visual history. Michael Tierney, the author, has combed the archives and gathered together a vast treasure trove of art, from pulp covers to interior art, from novels that range on both sides of the Atlantic to the vast array of comic books that sported REH's amazing creations. He's taken these and woven them into a discussion that explores the many facets of the various industries and Howard's place within them.

Hundreds of cover artists and illustrators are included in these 4 volumes.

Included just in the modern era are:

    • Frazetta Ace paperback covers, Canaveral Press covers and illustrations, and more
    • Neal Adams and Boris Vallejo Tarzan paperback covers
    • Reed Crandall
    • Roy Krenkel
    • Russ Manning
    • Jeffrey Jones
    • Michael Kaluta
    • Joe Jusko
