The Mighty Barbarians edited by Hans Stefan Santesson
The first of two heroic fantasy anthologies edited by Hans Stefan Santesson for Lancer Books was The Mighty Barbarians, from 1969. There are five stories plus an introduction in the book. Two are from Weird Tales, a source that has yet to be mined out even after fifty-seven years since the last issue was printed.
I don't have a copy of this book myself, so I have had to rely on Internet sources for the information here. If you find any of it in error or would like to add something, please leave me a comment or send an email to info@hoosiercartoonists.com. (No longer active as of March 21, 2023.)
