Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

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.

Great foray into howard's pre-conan work. Conan's * prowess is almost as legendary as his prowess with a broadsword.

The artwork is spectacular. It is a fantastically illustrated work. Like the other collections which i have bought as well, this one looks very good, both on the bookshelf and in my hands.

The stories are set thousands of years before conan's time, but have a similar flavor. They are more primal and idiosyncratic than the later, more smoothly-written conan stories. Unique stories not found in conan include time travel, and astral plaini... Read More

Cons

Kull is worth a read but don't expect to much and don't pay alot of this book. The characters' faux-arcane manner of speaking to the lazy jobs of description.

Price

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

Unlike conan, the emphasis in kull is on his natural leadership qualities, and kingship rather than conan's wild adventuring.

Kull follows a formula similar to the conan stories where the stories often resemble horror and/or lovecraft stories as much as fantasy.

The physical descriptions of the two are similar, though kull's grey eyes were replaced by conan's blue eyes.
