Talk:Legacy of Robert E. Howard

Marvel Comics
Being heavily into "sword and sorcery" as the genre was known at the time, I wrote to Marvel Comics and suggested that they brought out some S&S comics, suggesting Conan. Shortly afterwards, I think they decided to test the market because they revived an old character in a new incarnation, "The Black Knight" with a magic sword like Elric had. He enjoyed some success so they paid for Conan, which was a runaway success. I don't know if I did influence them? (84.236.152.71 (talk) 23:20, 20 March 2014 (UTC))
 * According to Roy Thomas in this article, Marvel received suggestions from readers recommending books and characters to be adapted into comics, and the author most often mentioned was Robert E. Howard including requests for Conan, and this prompted Marvel to pursue a license for the rights to a Conan comic book. (They also received many requests for Doc Savage, Tarzan, and John Carter (character), all of which Marvel wound up publishing comics of in the 1970s, as well as The Lord of the Rings for which they were unable to secure the rights.) So you may have been one of many readers who influenced Marvel to create the Conan the Barbarian comic book. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:47, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
