I was thinking more along the lines of Cormac Mac Art, Conan,
or
Cormac Fitzgeoffrey. These guys are pretty hard-boiled
characters.>>
Most of Howard's characters have some bit of hard-boiled
about them. Bran
Mac Morn is one. Solomon Kane is another, a dour hard-boiled
Puritan
obsessed with hunting down supernatural evils. It's been
awhile since I
last read Howard's "Gordon of the Desert" stories -- the
character is based
loosely on a Lawrence of Arabia figure, but also has elements
of Talbot
Mundy's JimGrim novels -- but I think you'd find some
hard-boiled elements
there, as well.
I'm not familiar with Cormac Fitzgeoffrey. Who's he? --
