He is one of "The Big Three of ''Weird Tales''", those men who published most prolifically in that most well-known and long-lasting of Weird Fantasy dedicated magazines, alongside [[H.P. Lovecraft]] and Robert E. "<del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">[[</del>[[Conan the Barbarian|Conan]]" [[Robert E. Howard|Howard]]. Although Smith isn't (today) as well-known as them, he had a significant impact; Clark was a co-creator for the world of [[Hyperborea]], the primeval "lost past" world in which Robert's own Conan and King Kull [[Sword & Sorcery]] works were set, and corresponded frequently with Lovecraft, resulting in many of his weird races and deities being promoted in the latter's works.
