H.J. Ward contributes another great cover to the November 1936 issue of SPICY ADVENTURE STORIES.  The highlight of the issue is "The Purple Heart of Erlik" by Robert E. Howard, writing as Sam Walser.  This, Howard's fourth tale to be published in SPICY ADVENTURE STORIES, was reprinted in the October 1942 issue as "Nothing to Lose" by R.T. Maynard.  Howard's third story for SPICY ADVENTURE STORIES, "The Dragon of Kao Tsu", had appeared two months earlier in the September 1936 issue, again under his Sam Walser pseudonym.
