A Conan fan! Cool beans! Back in the early 70's, I bought some underground comix - ZAP, Freak Brothers, Checkered Demon, etc. In one book, there was a story where the Frank Frazzeta Conan ran into the Barry Windsor-Smith Conan - who was drawing the book for Marvel at the time. Hilarious story!
I actually read all the books by Robert E. Howard -- probably late '60s early '70s. If you've never read them youi might want to give em a try. Howard was awesome.
By the way, I've been using this tag for about a year and you're the first one ever to comment about the Conan origin.
