"Conan waited for the ghost of Mr. Miyagi to appear, to consult him on this formidable foe...Godzilla crept closer. Conan snarled, then tapped into his resilience, his steely resolve and broke out a Coco Can of Whoop-a*s!"
This 'set' is in the pub which bears his name in York Place, Edinburgh. The medical-bag on display is monogrammed 'A C Doyle' but my enquiry conformed that it is a 'prop'. The pub's website offers the following information:
"Located close to the pub is Picardy Place, where the pub's namesake, the great author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, was born on 22nd May 1859. Today, an over life-sized bronze statue of Conan Doyle's greatest creation, Sherlock Holmes, stands opposite his birthplace. The most famous fictional detective is portrayed in meditation on the death of his author".

Conan the Barbarian is a fictional sword and sorcery hero who originated in pulp fiction magazines . The Conan books are sword and sorcery fantasies featuring the character of Conan the Cimmerian originally created by Robert E. Howard. Written by numerous authors and issued by numerous publishers, they include both novels and short stories, the latter assembled in various combinations over the years by the several publishers. The character has proven durably popular, resulting in Conan stories being produced after Howard's death by such later writers as Poul Anderson, Leonard Carpenter, Lin Carter, L. Sprague de Camp, Roland J. Green, John C. Hocking, Robert Jordan, Sean A. Moore, Björn Nyberg, Andrew J. Offutt, Steve Perry, John Maddox Roberts, Harry Turtledove, and Karl Edward Wagner. Some of these writers finished incomplete Conan manuscripts by Howard, or rewrote Howard stories which originally featured different characters. Most post-Howard Conan stories, however, are completely original works. In total, more than fifty novels and dozens of short stories featuring the Conan character have been written by authors other than Howard.
The books in the photograph are part of a series of 12 issued by Sphere Books in the UK and previously , I think , by Lancer Books in the USA .

"Probably the first printed Conan the Librarian reference is in a 1987 Mother Goose and Grimm comic. A pig returning a book to the "Overdue Books" section faces across the desk a scowling and muscle-bound librarian, in typical Conan the Barbarian dress, who from the placard on the desk we know is "Conan the Librarian.""
