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 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.
