Petri Hiltunen!
Finland's Petri Hiltunen has a lot of credits to his name, and at one time recreated a number of REH stories in comics...I've read some reviews and apparently they were VERY well received...unfortunately, they were rarely translated from Finnish....so....here's "The Grey God Passes" (a.k.a. "The Twilight of the Grey Gods"), a re-creation of Howard's short story featuring Turlogh Dubh O'Brien, translated into English, courtesy of "Boozeman" and others:
Below are a number of (somewhat NSFW, hence the thumbnails) excerpts from Petri's version of "Queen of the Black Coast"! Apparently a really good story, but too short (ha, ha, isn't that always the case). It was translated into Spanish for the Sword Conan comics, so maybe, just maybe, Carlos Yáñez still has a copy kicking around...hmmm...Carlos?

Whoa! Check out THAT Belit...wild woman!
And finally, some other samples of Petri's artistic talent...that is, Conan and Conan-like (i.e. Praedor) characters!
