Smith and Howard
[edit ]Smith met Robert E. Howard while both attended Brownwood High School and they remained friends until Howard's death. At the time, Smith was publishing a small amateur journal. He and Howard collaborated on a story that was meant to run in Smith's magazine, Under the Great Tiger, though they abandoned the project.[2] Smith did other collaborations with Howard, one of which they sold to the magazine Oriental Stories . Several of their collaborations were collected in Red Blades of Black Cathay , published by Donald M. Grant, Publisher, Inc. in 1971.
