Kull Exile of Atlantis Hardcover Slipcase HC Ltd Robert E Howard Subterranean

Description: Robert E. Howard’s Kull: Exile of Atlantis Hardcover w/ Slipcase (Signed & Numbered) Limited to 1500. Awesome!! Written by Robert E. Howard Illustrated by Justin Sweet Edited by Patrice Louinet & Rusty Burke Design by Marcelo Anciano & Desert Isle Design, LLC. Typography by Stuart Williams Cover by: Justin Sweet In a meteoric career that spanned a mere twelve years, Robert E. Howard single-handedly invented the genre that came to be called sword and sorcery. From his fertile imagination sprang some of fiction’s most enduring heroes. Yet while Conan is indisputably Howard’s greatest creation, it was in his earlier sequence of tales featuring Kull, a fearless warrior with the brooding intellect of a philosopher, that Howard began to develop the distinctive themes, and the richly evocative blend of history and mythology, that would distinguish his later tales of the Hyborian Age. Much more than simply the prototype for Conan, Kull is a fascinating character in his own right: He is a fierce warrior, ruthless and courageous on the battlefield, but not tyrannical or cruel. He has a strong sense of chivalry and virtue. Unlike Conan, Kull is much more philosophical and brooding. He agonizes over decisions that affect the lives of those around him, always looking for the most noble action to take. He is uncomfortable with kingship and prefers the life of a general. An exile from fabled Atlantis who wins the crown of Valusia, only to find it as much a burden as a prize. The UK based small press Wandering Star issued glorious editions of Robert E. Howard s work, including The Savage Tales of Solomon Kane, Bran Mak Morn, The Ultimate Triumph, as well as two volumes of Howard’s Conan tales. Now, Subterranean Press continues the “series” of limited editions, beginning with Kull: Exile of Atlantis, exquisitely illustrated with color plates.
