I don't remember any memorable heroic black characters in Howard's Conan stories. Perhaps you are thinking of Juma, who was a de Camp/Carter creation? Ace Jessel, the black boxer is probably Howard's best example of a heroic black character. "The Apparition in the Prize Ring" and "Double Cross" (?) are the two stories featuring this character. There is also N'Longa in the Solomon Kane stories. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send your FREE holiday greetings online! http://greetings.yahoo.com
