Shanghaied Mitts

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Steve Costigan and Mike are back in the ring for the second round!

Legendary pulp ficton writer Robert E. Howard (1906 - 1936) created dozens of memorable characters during his too-short lifetime. The one he wrote the most about, however, was not Conan or Solomon Kane, but the big-hearted sailor Steve Costigan, whose pride in his skills as a boxer got him in almost as much trouble as his loyaty to his shipmates and whilte bulldog Mike, and his love of beautiful women.

Shanghaid Mitts: More Tales of Sea-faring Boxing Champ Steve Costigan features 11 stories full of comedy, adventure, and boxing as Sailor Costigan battles all comers--boxers, thieves, con artists, Mexican bandits, Chinese warlords--from the back alleys of Singapore to the wild hills of Texas. These are the remaining tales of Costigan that wre published during Howard's lifetime (with the first ten found in the companion volume Fists of Foolishness), and they are written in a very different style than Howard used in his more famous fantasy and horror stories. Some of his best work can be found within these pages, with stories like "Shanghaied Mitts" in particular making one wonder to what heights his talents might have taken him if he had lived longer.

Also featured is a roleplaying game adventure that can be played solo, or with friends by using the game included in Fists of Foolishness ("The Violent Worlds of Robert E. Howard") or ROLF!: The Rollplaying Game of Big Dumb Fighters, together with the "Hammerin' Tongs" supplement.

 

Don't miss Fists of Foolishess, the first collection of Steve Costigan adventures!

Featuring ten classic stories by Robert E. Howard,
and a complete RPG by Steve Miller and L.L. Hundal.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
