Wow, I love it! Nice work Wallace.

@ Griatch

Howard never gave a strict height or weight for Conan in a story, only describing him in loose terms like "giant" and "massive".

Conan is described as standing 6 feet (1.8 m) and weighing 180 pounds (82 kg) when he takes part in an attack on Venarium at only 15 years old, though being far from fully grown. It can be estimated, however, from the accumulation of Howard's descriptions of Conan in his formative years that his height ranges from 6'2 to 6'6 weighing 210 lb to 245 lb with extremely low body fat.

During his reign as king of Aquilonia, Conan was "... a tall man, mightily shouldered and deep of chest, with a massive corded neck and heavily muscled limbs. His brow was low and broad, his eyes a volcanic blue that smoldered as if with some inner fire. His dark, scarred, almost sinister face was that of a fighting-man, and his velvet garments could not conceal the hard, dangerous lines of his limbs."

@ Erisian,

Sweet, thank you.

That is interesting, I never read the parts where he is described as big as that, I always heard that the iconic imagery was pretty much up in the air until Frazetta (and possibly some other contemporary fantasy artists) put brush-to-canvas. Something new learned every day.

@Griatch,

I'm a huge Conan and REH fan, I've known of Conan and the stories of REH since the late 60's and have read all the book on the list below and then some. I also have a complete collection of Conan The Barbarian, King Conan and Conan the King comic books. As well as the entire paperback series listed below.
I've read some of those paperbacks two or three times over the years and will most likely read them again.

About the Paperback Books

The first comprehensive paperback edition, which compiled the existing Howard and non-Howard stories together with new non-Howard stories in chronological order, to form a complete account of Conan's life. Lancer Books initially numbered its volumes in order of publication, switching to a chronological numbering for volumes published later and reprints or the earlier volumes. Lancer went out of business before bringing out the entire series, and publication was completed by Ace Books.

This edition of the stories was the one that introduced Conan into popular culture. Undertaken under the direction of De Camp and Carter, it includes all the original Howard material, including that left unpublished in his lifetime and fragments and outlines. De Camp edited much of the material and he and Carter completed the stories that were not in finished form. New stories written entirely by themselves were added as well. In the following list, volumes 6 and 11–12 do not contain any material by Howard. Of the thirty-five stories in the other eight volumes, nineteen were published or completed by Howard during his lifetime, ten are rewritten or completed from his manuscripts, fragments or synopses, and six are the sole work of De Camp and Carter. Most of the covers of this edition featured dynamic images by Frank Frazetta that, for many fans, presented the "definitive" impression of Conan and his world.

wallace: hehe, sorry to shock you like that . i'm a big fan of silhouettes and i often like a picture better where i'm not fed all the details.

@ AnMal,

It was a shocker, but I think I'll get over it. I don't often find my work being compared to a 'Masters' works. Matter of fact this has never happened. And being such a huge 'Frazetta' fan, to me this was no doubt shocking.

I can except the complement, but not the comparison. In my view the former would be a sacrilegious defamation of Frank Frazetta's accomplishments.
