Covers always lie.

And Conan is a man amongst men, against whom even Arnold Schwarzenegger shall be found wanting.

Well, except in that one scene, in the movie, which shows him as an orphan led to the prison work camp. He walks in circles pushing that giant wheel along with other prisoners, who fall away one by one as Conan grows in age and size and power... until (camera zoomed out) one figure is silhouetted, turning that wheel... zoom gradually to those calf muscles, up to the torso, the arms, the lowered head. Then... his head lifts... we look into his eyes.... THOSE EYES
Aside from that, you get no argument from me about Conan and how even Arnold "shall be found wanting."

Sorry man, no way, the original Conan is the archetype, Arnold just played him in a movie ...
