The Curse of the Golden Skull
Conan the Barbarian #37
A busy and enjoyable adventure.
Conan and Aghrapur’s soldiers are attacked by the Hillmen. Conan and a friend become slaves but soon find themselves being chased by a monster as they try to rescue a princess.
Enough story here for two issues in this fast-paced comic. There are no real surprises but it’s very entertaining. The art is a step down from what we usually get in the title. Juma the Black and Princess Yolinda are characters with potential. It’s a pity we won’t be seeing them in the series again.
On Sale Date: January 8, 1974.

Torches from Hell
Kull the Destroyer #13
New status quo, same old average adventures.
Kull and Brule head back to the city to kill Thulsa Doom.
It's a stupid plan. Doomed to failure from the onset. The action parts are okay. The highlights are seeing Narda and Ridondo again.
On Sale Date: January 22, 1974.
