The Chronicles of Kull #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the earliest appearances of Robert E. Howard's Kull of Atlantis, reprinting the character's first stories from the pages of Weird Tales. Included are the foundational tale 'The Shadow Kingdom' and other early adventures that established Kull's brooding, pre-Conan world. Dark Horse's 2009 series presents these classic pulp yarns with restored text and period illustrations.
In "The Skull of Silence!", Kull and Brule venture into a temple dedicated to the Valusian snake-god, facing a colossal undersea guardian before encountering Thulsa Doom for the first time—his alliance seemingly genuine, but his true intentions shrouded in mystery. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with bold, dynamic art by John Severin, with inks and colors by Marie Severin, this issue captures the mythic grandeur of the Hyborian Age. The cover, also by John Severin, sets the tone with a striking, ominous image of the temple’s hidden depths.
In "The Forbidden Swamp," King Kull and Brule venture into a temple dedicated to the Valusian snake-god, where they face a colossal undersea beast guarding the sacred ruins. There, they encounter Thulsa Doom for the first time—his charm masking a dangerous intent—as he offers to join them on their journey to the City of Wonders.
In the storm-lashed wilds of an uncharted island, King Kull and his men find themselves hunted by a fanatical cult, a cursed werewolf, and the tyrannical Dom Vinsala, who rules the island with blood and fear. As ancient secrets rise from the jungle and the night brings its own horrors, Kull must rely on wit, steel, and the loyalty of those few who stand with him—against enemies that blur the line between man and monster.
