| + | #REDIRECT [[Robert E. Howard#Conan]] [[Category:redirect]], |
| − | Easily the most indomitable of [[fantasy]] heroes, in [[R. E. Howard]]'s series built around him this redoubtable [[MTB|barbarian]] from Cimmeria adventures around the world of the Hyborian Age and in the process raises himself from a blacksmith's son to a king. Unlike the [[Lensman]], [[Barsoom]], and [[L. Frank Baum|Oz]] sagas relatively few characters and place-names from the Conan stories have entered general [[fannish]] mythology. On the other hand, it has given rise to the [[Hyborian Legion]], a group rather like the [[Sherlock Holmes]] [[fans]]' Baker Street Irregulars and not quite comparable to anything else in [[fandom]]. This group, including [[Marty Greenberg]], [[Sprague Decamp]], [[Dave Kyle]], [[Poul Anderson]], [[George Scithers]] and others, celebrates the exploits of their hero and subjects their canonical literature to exhaustive analysis.
