''Kull the Conqueror'' is a 1982 limited series from Creator/MarvelComics, starring a version of Creator/RobertEHoward's fantasy hero Franchise/{{Kull}}. The series is only two issues, but they are double-length compared to normal Marvel comics. Each issue has its own independent story and its own creative team.

Kull, an exiled barbarian from Atlantis, has risen to become king of the declining nation of Valusia. But the role of a king requires more than simply bravery and a strong sword arm.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The Valusian earthquake uncovers a door carved with hieroglyphs and images of serpent-men. Kull, who's fought the snake-men before, promptly smashes it down and finds catacombs and bones, but nothing more. Once his advisors have time to translate the hieroglyphs, they discover that it was the tomb of some of the first true men, those driven insane by their war ''against'' the evil serpent-men. And breaking it has unleashed their madness and curse on the city.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: After an earthquake strikes Valusia, Kull and his advisors discuss the possible causes. Theories include ancient gods, the monstrous children of the earth goddess and giant moles. Kull himself suspects that nature simply suffers growing pains. The story implies that he's right and it's simply an earthquake, but given the nature of Kull's world, any of the options might be true.
