Kothar is a blatant Conan rip-off, without any pretense of being anything else. Other books in the series were quite entertaining, and one Kothar novel was even adapted as a Conan story in the Conan the barbarian comic in the '70s. I love Gardner Fox.
I don't think I ever read any of Kothar books, but looking at Fox's entry on the Fantastic Fiction site], they had some nice covers - done by Jeff Jones, maybe?

Looks like Fox had a couple other series in the REH vein as well, Kyrik - ever read those? And another called Llarn that seems more ERB-like. Might have to check those out some time.
