Howard only completed two short stories about Agnes (''Sword Woman'' and ''Blades for France''), neither of which was published before his death. A third story (''Mistress of Death'') was still in draft form when he died. The Marvel ''Dark Agnes'', series is a sequel to those stories, not a direct adaptation, so doesn't directly retell her origin - which also means it starts at a point after some significant characters have died.
