I know some might say that the characters WERE identical but reading the stories show that Howard gave Conan and Kull very different personalities. That said, they were of course very similar. Very interesting post. Thanks Mr. DoorTree!; 2:53 AM

Jose Villarrubia said...: Congratulations and thank you! You are amazing! I have only seen the few panels of this that were reprinted in the Marvel Black and White magazines... Thank you again for sharing.; 12:12 AM
Jose Villarrubia said...: Thank you so much for posting these. I had only seen the few panels reprinted inSavage Sword 3. According to the text, this were pages to be included in a paperback sized book (like Blackmark later). That explains why there are only 2 panels per page and the nudity... Too bad it never saw light, until now! Thank you again.; 12:28 AM
