As I have said, I am a great fan of Robert E. Howard. Here is one of my favorite poems by him.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Conan
When I was a fighting-man, the kettle-drums they beat,
The people scattered gold-dust at my horse's feet;
But now I am a great king, the people hound my track,
with poison in my wine cup, and daggers at my back.
--The Road of Kings

I had a hard time putting together a bibliography for REH. For someone who lived a short life, he wrote a lot. Unfortunately (or fortunately), several well known novelists completed his stories and outlines, making the task of making the list that much harder.

I hereby call upon tv.com to create a category of “created by” or “characters by” for novelist who’s work is turned into a tv show (such as Conan, etc.).

My favorite story by far of REH is “The Treasure of Tranicos.” I recommend it to everyone. It’s a Conan story, and I hope you enjoy it as much I did. However, realize the guy was a genus. Read his other works on Solomon Kane and King Kull, to name just a few of the characters he created.
