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.
