[QUOTE="jester47, post: 3922817, member: 2238"] I beg to differ. As REH wrote him Conan is a very distinct character. The idea was fully fleshed out. We have over a thousand pages of Conan. The pastiche writers turned the character 180 degrees from what Conan was. To correct some stuff: Titles are: The Devil in Iron and the Frost Giant's Daughter. Conan is not 16 in the Frost Giants Daughter, he is simply a youthful cimmerian warrior. The Dale Rippke aka the Darkstorm Chronology used by Darkhorse is the better chronology and is more heavily researched. The Thing in the Crypt was not a Howard story. Neither was Curse of the Monolith. The creature from the God in the Bowl does not resemble a Naga but a crafty giant snake. Its a murder mystery inspired by "Murders in the Rue Morge" in that no one human is killing anyone but rather an animal no one suspects. Conan of course is the detective. The crucifiction scene in the movie comes alomost exactly from "A Witch Shall Be Born" except in the movie he is on a tree, not a cross. While not exquisitly detailed, the hyborian world is quite fleshed out. But I am a howardian Purist. Conan the Barbarian was the best Fafhrd and Grey Mouser film ever made. [/QUOTE]
