Howard single - handedly invented the genre that came to be called sword and sorcery. From his fertile imagination sprang some of fiction's most enduring heroes. Yet while Conan is indisputably Howard's greatest creation it was in his earlier sequence of tales featuring Kull a fearless warrior with the brooding intellect of a philosopher that Howard began to develop the distinctive themes and the richly evocative blend of history and mythology that would distinguish his later tales of the Hyborian Age. Much more than simply the prototype for Conan Kull is a fascinating character in his own right: an exile from fabled Atlantis who wins the crown of Valusia only to find it as much a burden as a prize. This groundbreaking collection lavishly illustrated by award - winning artist Justin Sweet gathers together all Howard's stories featuring Kull from Kull's first published appearance in The Shadow Kingdom to Kings of the Night Howard's last tale featuring the cerebral swordsman. The stories are presented just as Howard wrote them with all subsequent editorial emendations removed. Also included are previously unpublished stories drafts and fragments plus extensive notes on the texts an introduction by Howard authority Steve Tompkins and an essay by noted editor Patrice Louinet. Praise for Kull Robert E. Howard had a gritty vibrant style broadsword writing that cut its way to the heart with heroes who are truly larger than life.
