King Borna

King Borna is a monarch inhabiting Marvel's sword-and-sorcery world of the pre-Cataclysmic era, appearing alongside King Kull and his allies in ancient Valusia. He operates as a royal figure within the political and warrior culture of that mythic age.

Born into the sword-and-sorcery splendor of Marvel's Bronze Age, King Borna made his debut in Creatures on the Loose #10 in 1971, brought to life by the legendary trio of Stan Lee, Larry Lieber, and Jack Kirby. This royal figure has carved out a place in Marvel's ancient, mythic corners, appearing across titles like Kull and the Barbarians and The Savage Sword of Conan, sharing pages with such storied figures as King Kull, Brule the Spear-Slayer, and Councilor Tu — some of the most atmospheric company Marvel's barbarian era had to offer. With a publishing footprint stretching remarkably from 1971 all the way to 2021, King Borna is a testament to the enduring appeal of Marvel's pre-Hyborian and Thurian Age storytelling. A rare find for collectors who love the rich, pulpy grandeur of Bronze Age fantasy at its most ambitious.
