Conan wasn't the only Robert E. Howard sword and sorcery icon to be adapted into Marvel Comics! Following Conan's breakout success, Roy Thomas set his sights on Howard's legendary barbarian king of Valusia: Kull!

Marie Severin and John Severin contributed what many consider the creative highlight of their careers, in tales that showed how uneasy hung the crown on the head of Kull - especially when confronting wicked sorcerer Thulsa Doom! The art of Mike Ploog also features heavily, along with contributions from some of the era's top talents...including Kull's first appearance, drawn by comics legend Bernie Wrightson!

Hardcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 808 pages, full color. Rated T+

2nd Printing. Written by Elliott Kalan. Art and Cover by Andrea Mutti. Four years ago, a masked slasher began stalking the streets of New York City. Maniac Harry is inhuman, unkillable and unstoppable. Which is why the authorities' solution has been to ignore him, and let New Yorkers adapt to a world where death can strike at any mo-ment. When Maniac Harry starts killing his way through the subway system, trauma-haunted political aide Gina Greene and disgraced NYPD detective Zelda Pettibone become determined to go rogue and destroy him. But how can they fight a monster when they can't fight City Hall? From Emmy Award-winning writer Elliott Kalan (The Daily Show, MST3K, Spider-Man & The X-Men) and artist Andrea Mutti (Port of Earth, Hellblazer) comes the horrifying story of what happens when terror becomes the new normal. A frightening, thought-provoking, sometimes funny, always timely tale of murder, obsession and urban living. 32 pages, full color. Cover price $4.99.
