yeah i've always wondered the same thing about Conan and Kull for that matter also. As creations of Robert E. Howard, i've always doubted that Marvel could lay claim to either. Conan should be public domain just like Tarzan and John Carter. Although I will admit no one has done it better than Marvel and if indeed this concept you've created was to be used it does have that Marvel flair to it. Very well done BTW!
