I'd say no in the main, but there is the tiniest hint of Liefeld face in Conan's expression which I think may be the trigger. 

Nowhere near angry or shouty enough. Just looks a bit annoyed.

The Conan figure still looks more like a bad Frazetta homage to me.

Something about the way Conan is holding that ax bugs me. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think the ax is way too small, and that's probably causing Conan to hold it in a weird way.

I don't know -- I love most of Campbell's artwork but this one causing me to scratch my head. The initial Liefeld comparisons were because Conan's strength looks to be greatly exaggerated in this piece.

His arms are so short and his legs are so long.  This whole image hurts my eyes.  And I'm typically pretty forgiving for comic art.
