Pros & Cons
Pros
Kull is also a barbarian and he bears some resemblance to conan, though their adventures take place in a different era. Later rewritten as the conan story the phoenix on the sword.
Kull is a collection of short stories by howard. The stories tell of kull as king and all the hardships he goes through. This groundbreaking collection gathers together all howard's stories featuring kull.

Packaging/appearance
Like the other collections which i have bought as well, this one looks very good, both on the bookshelf and in my hands.
Competitiveness
Though kull is physically almost identical to conan, he doesn't quite seem to have the same lusty appetites; he is often more s... Read More
