Wayward and restless as the wind, he was consistent in only one respect-he was true to his ideals of justice and right. A hunger in his soul drove him on and on, an urge to right all wrongs, protect all weaker things. He was.a strange blending of Puritan and Cavalier, with a touch of the ancient philosopher, and more than a touch of the pagan. But Conan was not the first archetypal adventurer to spring from Howard's fertile imagination. Howard created more than the greatest action hero of the twentieth century-he also launched a genre that came to be known as sword and sorcery. ![]()
