Grognak the Barbarian is an obvious reference to "The Savage Sword of Conan the Barbarian", which most of you probably already knew. What's lesser known is the cover of the Grognak comic "In the Lair of the Virgin Eater" resembles the cover of the Conan issue "Lair of the Ice Worm" and is likely a direct reference to it.
On top of all this, Grognak on the cover also looks remarkably similar to the Barbarian class image from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Notably the axe-heads, folds in the clothing, hand positions, and most of the body pose are almost exactly the same.
