While I agree REH was the father of S&S genre, as least as I know it, his Kull and Solomon Kane stories predate Conan.

Actually, REH just added "Sorcery" to Harold Lamb's already established "Swords" genre.
I kid... but I
do like to give Lamb a bit of credit for the S&S genre, myself. REH was hugely influenced by Lamb's "exotic adventure" stories in which swordplay was almost always featured.
I can't imagine what REH might have accomplished had he lived longer.
