I was not kidding when i told that this blog was about me. So now i want to talk about my favorite fiction characters: Conan, the barbarian, Sherlock Holmes, and Stephen Maturin.
I start with Conan and let Holmes and Maturin for later.
Conan was a character ceated by Ron Howard in the 30's; it made his first appearence in the December 1932 edition of Weird Tales magazine.
He was a barbarian from Cimmeria in a pre-historic barbaric forgotten world. A world where justice lay in the edge of a sword, everyone by himself; almost as today...
Conan was a nomadic wandering adventure; leaving Cimmeria at about the age of 15 he took the world as his home and made himself a king.
He guide his actions by a strict code of conduct; althought he was a mercenary who sold his sword he was also capable of the most altruistic actions and a loyal compagnion. Someone who keep his word.
That's him, Conan of Cimmeria, as i saw him in my teenage years.
