  2. Conan, his author Robert E. Howard and his other creations like Kull and Solomon Kane were staples of my childhood. I've even visited his grave in Texas.

    1. I actually had a comic mag snatched out of my hand and burned once, when I was like seven, because - well just on principle. Cost me a dime. They were considered "of the devil."

  4. Howard was not a particularly great writer. The best stories were the ones co-written by L. Sprague De Camp, with Howard and other authors.
