I know they vary wildly in quality and there is a lot of repetition, and I know Conan isn't a real great character in story terms, because he really has no flaws, but man, I loved it. The thing to keep in mind when reading Howard stories is, unlike Tolkien, who was crafting a story to encompass his love of language and history, Howard was writing for a paycheck. It's how he tried to make a living. So sometimes he would take a Kull, or a Brak Mon Morn story, and rework it into a Conan story if he could sell it. If some stories seemed repetitious, it's because those are what sold, so that's what he wrote.

Marvel announced they got the Conan comic license. Also, has anyone seen "The Whole Wide World", the film about Robert E Howard, with Vincent D'onofrio and Renee Zellweger?

Lovecraft actually gave Howard his blessing to use his Elder Gods in his stories.
