CONAN'S WOMEN
BY GARY GIANNI

Regardless of whether she is good or evil, Howard always makes sure a woman is attractive. An aged crone is occasionally an exception to the rule, whereas plain, plump or matronly types have no place in Conan's universe



Conan reassures a slave girl he'll be back to rescue her in Hour of the Dragon. This particualr woman needs to be portrayed differently than the other women in Conan's adventures - he decides to marry her at the end of Howard's only full-length Conan novel.
