I always found Cormac FitzGeoffrey fascinating, even if he was so bitter, bleak and constantly rage-filled that he made Turlogh O'Brien seem like Puck. Must have been the savage mistreatment he suffered as a child in Ireland that made him that way. I speculated about his ancestry in a series of posts for REH: TWO GUN RACONTEUR, and I've just had a story I wrote about his father, Geoffrey the Bastard, published in Rogue Blades' antho, CROSSBONES AND CROSSES. I quite like it. So much so that I'd love to write more.

And yes, write more please; more Bard, more Kamose, more Cormac Mac Art (that would be pretty cool!) ...I’m sorry, I got carried away! |

I've read Hawks of Outremer quite recently, and also read the comic adaptation. I think it is a fantastic story, short of REH's best due to excessive info dump and some the over the top prose of REH rather than the poetic kind. I especially loved the atmosphere of the story, the exhausted nature of the people of Outremer, the fragile peace, and bickering lords, I don't know why but reading through the story, the tired atmosphere kinda reminded me of Post war Vienna in The Third Man. The comic is great as well, and the art is a standout with the bloody action and the coloring.
