The guy who created Conan the Barbarian, Solomon Kane, he created both of those in his 20s, living in a small po-dunk town in Texas.

Just skimming over his life, Robert E. Howard was the son of a traveling doctor and seen some shit from the oil booms of the time: lynchings, gunfights, Indian attacks, etc. Between that and getting bullied in school, he took up boxing and a "might makes right" attitude in life. Hardly a boring existence.

A soft city boy who spent his entire life in a comfy chair could've never written something as Darwinistic as Conan the Barbarian.
