                            Introduction
======================================================================
'Skull-Face' is a fantasy novella by  American writer Robert E.
Howard, which appeared as a serial in 'Weird Tales' magazine,
beginning in October 1929, and ending in December, 1929. The story
stars a  character called Stephen Costigan but this is not Howard's
recurring character Sailor Steve Costigan. The story is clearly
influenced by Sax Rohmer's opus Fu Manchu but substitutes the main
Asian villain with a resuscitated Atlantean necromancer (similar to
Kull's bit character Thulsa Doom) sitting at the center of a web of
massive addictive drug crime and intrigue meant to end White/Western
world domination with the help of Asian/Brown/African peoples and to
re-instate surviving Atlanteans (said to lie dormant in submerged
sarcophagi) as the new ruling elite.
