Kull the Conqueror is the brooding Atlantean warrior-king created by Robert E. Howard, the father of Conan the Barbarian. Ruling from the ancient city of Valusia, Kull is both philosopher and fighter—a man haunted by the mysteries of civilization and the savagery from which he rose. In Marvel Comics, Ablaze Comics, and countless adaptations, Kull battles treachery, sorcery, and his own inner demons. His tales explore the fragile line between barbarism and nobility, power and corruption. Kull the Conqueror stands as one of Howard’s most profound creations—a warrior-poet whose crown weighs heavier than his sword.
My Rating “The Gem of the Golden Waters” Even with the power and prestige of the Topaz Throne, Kull of Atlantis has become malcontent. No king should ever willingly submit themselves to unceasing trade disputes, monotonous ambassadors with little to say, or sarcastic court officials who don’t know their place. Councilor Tu has become unbearable […]
My Rating “Zukala’s Daughter” On the road to Shadizar. It has been weeks since Conan survived the tower of Yara the sorcerer.

Now the Cimmerian must act quickly or be thrown to the unscrupulous Numalian Court of Justice. With a heavy hand, Conan slays all but Inquisitor Demetrio and his captain of the
My Rating “Part One – Stealing Faces & Finery” Brule scanned the mists for recognizable faces. The Shaman had promised him the truth, even if it was forcibly provided. The Spear-Slayer had to confirm the validity of his ally. Was the king of Valusia of sound mind? Gonar inhaled smoke from his pipe once again,
My Rating “The Skull of Silence!” Kull and his men had traveled for several days towards Valusia without prolonged rest. The borderlands were treacherous, indeed, but the Tiger King had filled the time contemplating a recent debate between Ka-Nu and himself.

My Rating “The Serpent Ring – Part 02: Deliver Us Into Evil” An ancient evil has taken control of the Sao Mancos Mission and Father Goncallo doesn’t seem to be the same person. As his flock begins to rebuild a new, across the African plain and ocean divide, Solomon Kane has kept his promise by
