Howard was and is still my favorite author. I started reading his stuff when I was in middle school... Had a huge collection of the Conan comics, too. The tales are part of what led me towards knife and sword makings in my early teens.
He wrote other tales too. The Brekenridge Elkins stuff is good, too.

There was supposed to be a plan to make another film of Conan as King of Aquilonia when Arnold became old enough... I don't know why they didn't.

I liked the newer film quite a bit. It's imagery stayed true to form, I'd say. Raw and harsh. I thought it was very true-to-Howard's vision.

FYI, There's a movie out about Howard called The Whole Wide World with Vincent D'onofrio. It's quite good.
