"As a panther strikes down a bull moose at bay" look, I like Howard's florid prose and his colorful metaphors, but come on, panthers live in south/central america, moose live in northern north america, a panther wouldn't know what to do with a moose if somehow their paths did cross. I'm going to hope he was facing a deadline and writing at 4 am with about half an hour of sleep, that's the only excuse I can imagine.

Conan is a lot like Sinbad: if you meet him, DON'T JOIN HIS CREW! RUN AS FAR AWAY AS YOU CAN!
