Beverly Hills, CA (February 6, 2006) - Paradox Entertainment announced today that the company has acquired all rights to the library of author Robert E. Howard, the creator of Conan and over 800 other literary pieces. Paradox Entertainment has owned Howard’s Conan since 2002 and the new addition of the entire library gathers all of Howard’s writings under one company.

“We have been negotiating this transaction for a year and we are confident of its tremendous value. I don’t think it’s possible to overestimate the magnitude of this purchase,” said Peter Sederowsky, Chairman of the Board at Paradox Entertainment AB.

This is absolutely fabulous news!

Now if they couold only acquire the rights to Red Sonja, all the Hyborian characters and the extended Howard canon would be back under one literary roof...
