Featuring the work of Roy Thomas, John Buscema, and other Bronze Age talents, these stories follow the barbarian king as he battles sorcerers, monsters, and rival factions in the prehistoric Thurian Age. The volume also includes crossovers with other Robert E. Howard characters such as Red Sonja, Solomon Kane, and Bran Mak Morn, as well as the iconic villain Thulsa Doom.
In "The Skull of Silence!", Kull the Savage finds himself entangled in a brutal moral trial when he intervenes to spare Sareeta, a captured Atlantean woman, from a fiery execution. Written by Robert E. Howard and brought to life with stark, dynamic art by Barry Smith, this tale from the original Marvel years explores the cost of mercy in a world where honor is measured in blood. The cover, a striking piece by Mark Brooks, captures the moment’s intensity, setting the stage for a story of defiance and consequence.
In this raw, emotionally charged tale from *Kull the Savage: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus*, Kull arrives on the shores of Atlantis just as Sareeta, a woman torn between two worlds, faces execution for her past. With a single, deliberate strike, Kull spares her the agony of fire—his act of mercy sparking a deadly chase from the very people he sought to protect. The story unfolds with the weight of ancient honor and the cost of compassion, set against the brutal beauty of sword and sorcery.
In "The Forbidden Swamp," Kull and Brule venture into a cursed temple dedicated to the serpent god of Valusia, where they face a monstrous sea beast guarding its depths. There, they encounter Thulsa Doom, a figure whose charm masks an unsettling intent, and who quietly asks to join their journey to the City of Wonders.
When a Tiger Returns to Atlantis finds Kull returning to the sunken city after years away, only to discover it transformed—its old allies now leaders, its power shifting beneath the waves. As former comrades Om-Ra and Khor-Nah rise in rank, Kull must navigate a web of shifting loyalties, a mysterious figure named Sarna, and a young woman named Kareesha who claims to be no witch. With danger erupting in the form of a dragon unleashed during a parade, Kull’s survival depends on trust he can’t yet afford.
In "Mirrors of Tuzun Thune," King Kull ventures into the eerie house of a thousand mirrors, lured by whispers of ancient power—only to find his mind unraveling as every reflection seems to hold a different version of himself. As shadows shift and identity blurs, he must fight to reclaim his sense of self before the mirrors claim him entirely.
In the tenth year of his rule, Kull faces his greatest trial yet as the Commorians unleash their most devastating assault on Valusia—so relentless that even his hired mercenaries begin to falter. With the kingdom on the brink and loyalty tested, Kull must rise not just as a king, but as a warrior forged in fire.
