De camp and Carter finished up the series from Howard from his original manuscripts and notes. A bunch of other writers have done books with the characters as well.

When I was a young teen I was at the library looking for a new book to read. I walked over to the paperback spinners and saw a Conan book. I was intrigued, as at the time I only knew if Conan from the movie. I checked it out, and it turned out to be a soft core porn book.

I never read another Conan book for many, many years.
