About the series
In this brief but striking two-issue Marvel series from the early 1980s, Robert E. Howard's brooding barbarian king Kull is brought to life by writers Alan Zelenetz and Doug Moench, with lush, atmospheric art from John Bolton and John Buscema. The story pits the Atlantean monarch against supernatural threats and political intrigue in his ancient kingdom of Valusia. Though short-lived, the series stands as a vivid, visually distinctive take on the character, showcasing the talents of its celebrated artists in a pre–Conan the Barbarian era of sword-and-sorcery comics.
