Behind the scenes

 * Grognak bears a striking resemblance to the barbarian class picture in Bethesda's Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
 * "Grognak the Barbarian" is a reference to Conan the Barbarian.
 * Grognak's name may also be a reference to "Grognard", a french term meaning "Old soldier", often used to describe RPG fans, particularly of the tabletop gaming persuasion.
 * The cover of "In the Lair of the Virgin Eater" combines elements of the cover of the Conan issue: "Lair of the Ice Worm", with those of the 1988 film The Lair of the White Worm
