I also have read a number of the 70s/80s comics.
Need to watch the new version. I started it on the DVR a couple days ago and just got through the birth scene.

Where once Howard was seen as neurotic 'mama's-boy', he's been increasingly seen as a great artist and master of American literature in the vein of London or even Hemingway. The call for papers on Howard has brought academic attention to Howardian studies in a way that has only interested "fanboys" writing zines in the 60's to 80's.
Artists do crazy things, but Howard really gets ignored or unfairly criticized in a way that only a 'fantasy' author could.

The Prequel Was good. In the Climax the one horned demon graphic is gross to the core.

And don't forget the TV series from the 90's I think it is currently being shown on one of the minor satellite channels here in the UK, Movies4Men.

just came across this scene, which I never knew existed. Any reason as to why his men are killing him? | | | |
