Kull the king & Brule
hands bloody with snake ichor:
"By this axe I rule!"
Maybe I'll start tossing haiku's in with my reviews! Since I don't get a chance to do them so often anymore. I guess Skull-A-Day is the genesis for the idea. So. Kull. Well, first, there are a few fragments of a fifth to Howard's stable-- Am-Ra the Ta-an. How barbaric is he? He is from the land of the dinosaurs. So we've got Am-Ra, Kull, Conan, Bran, & Solomon. Of them, Kull is the most like Conan-- the direct predecessor to him, in fact. There are differences-- Kull is more changed by kingship, but he's still a barbarian who seized the throne, but he's always the king in the stories. He doesn't care about women, that is a key difference, & he has friends, that I'd say is the other. If you've drilled down to Kull, you already know you'll probably like it, right?
