On the Road to Azrael, frontispiece illustration, 1979

This piece was used as the frontispiece for the illustrated edition of Robert E. Howard's novel, On the Road to Azrael, published by Donald M Grant, 1979, which collected five of Howard's Far Eastern tales, stories of a shadow period in which individual deeds have been lost in an era of massive battles and fateful wars. Roy Krenkel's style was a perfect fit for Howard's somber moodiness. The book was meant to serve as a companion volume to The Sowers of the Thunder, published in 1973. From the Frank Collection.
