Conan the Barbarian was created by Howard in a series of fantasy stories published in Weird Tales magazine in 1932.

" People of the Dark " is a remembrance story of " past lives ", and in its first-person narrative the protagonist describes one of his previous incarnations: Conan, a black-haired barbarian hero who swears by a deity called Crom.

In the 1980s and 1990s, the copyright holders of the Conan franchise permitted Howard's stories to go out of print entirely, while continuing to sell Conan works by other authors.

This was followed by Conan of Cimmeria: Volume Two ( 1934 ) ( 2004 ; published in the US as The Bloody Crown of Conan ) and Conan of Cimmeria: Volume Three ( 1935 – 1936 ) ( 2005 ; published in the US as The Conquering Sword of Conan ).

The character of Conan has proven durably popular, resulting in Conan stories by later writers such as Poul Anderson, Leonard Carpenter, Lin Carter, L. Sprague de Camp, Roland J.

Some of these writers have finished incomplete Conan manuscripts by Howard.

In total, more than fifty novels and dozens of short stories featuring the Conan character have been written by authors other than Howard.

The later volumes contain some stories rewritten by L. Sprague de Camp ( like " The Treasure of Tranicos "), including several non-Conan Howard stories, mostly historical exotica situated in the Levant at the time of the crusades, which he turned into Conan yarns.

The Gnome edition also issued the first Conan story written by an author other than Howard — the final volume published, which is by Björn Nyberg and revised by de Camp.

Its covers featured dynamic images by Frank Frazetta that, for many fans, presented the definitive impression of Conan and his world.

For example, at least one El Borak in which the protagonist infiltrates the City of the assassins was rewritten with Conan replacing Francis Xavier Gordon and a supernatural element added.

Completed by P. Schuyler Miller and John D. Clark, the chronology was later revised by Clark and L. Sprague de Camp in An Informal Biography of Conan the Cimmerian ( 1952 ).

* Robert Jordan chronology — A Conan Chronology by Robert Jordan ( 1987 ) was a new chronology written by Conan writer Robert Jordan that included all written Conan material up to that point.

* Dale Rippke chronology — The Darkstorm Conan Chronology ( 2003 ) was a completely revised and heavily researched chronology, radically repositioning a number of stories and including only those stories written or devised by Howard.
