Right off the bat, if a story or novel has a * at the end of it then it contradicts Howard's writings and/or has too many Conantics to be considered anything but apocryphal.
Decent S&S but not Conan.
Short stories have " ", novels don't, and an author is listed for each.
7/x
So, right from the start, this chronology is inherently ridiculous.
Ignoring that however, about 15 years ago I tried to find a position where each pastiche best fits the presented maturity of Conan's character and the story's stated location/facts.
Many don't fit well.
6/x
...that, by the time he's 30, Conan's notoriety should be spoken of far and wide in the Hyborian Kingdoms and Turan.
Yet Howard never once mentions it; Rippke doesn't consider Conan's notoriety to be mounting until he's around 40 on the Aquilonian frontier.

Daniel Zrom's work would fit right into The Doom That Came to Astreas, don't you think?

I love it when current-day comic artists tackle WW2 heroes with passion and nail their presentation! Dustin Weaver should do more JSA and Invaders!
May your day be filled with good fortune! [and your room-mates not piss you off too badly]

This week I discovered the striking Dragonlance™ Dragonlance fan art of Nick Barfuss.
May your day be filled with good fortune!
