Kull of Atlantis is a fictional character created by American writer <a href="/c/books/credit/61578/robert-e-howard/">Robert E. Howard</a>, also creator of Conan the Barbarian. Kull was more introspective than the subsequent Conan, whose first appearance was in a re-write of a rejected Kull story.
Only three Kull stories were published before Howard committed suicide in 1936:
• "<a href="https://www.bookogs.com/work/521853-the-shadow-kingdom">The Shadow Kingdom</a>" - first published in Weird Tales, August 1929
• "<a href="https://www.bookogs.com/work/514330-the-mirrors-of-tuzun-thune">The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune</a>" - first published in Weird Tales, September 1929
• "<a href="https://www.bookogs.com/work/468655-kings-of-the-night">Kings of the Night</a>" - first published in Weird Tales, November 1930 - also included in the <a href="/c/books/credit/67995/bran-mak-morn/">Bran Mak Morn</a> series
Howard also wrote nine other Kull stories, which were not published until much later:
