The best Kull edition produced so far. The stories are based on Howard’s original typescripts or the first published appearance if a typescript was unavailable.

It’s worth mentioning that the UK-based small press Wandering Star issued glorious editions of The Savage Tales of Solomon Kane, Bran Mak Morn, The Ultimate Triumph, as well as two volumes of Howard’s Conan tales.

Subterranean Press continued this series of limited editions, beginning with Kull: Exile of Atlantis, exquisitely illustrated with color plates. This i edition is a trade paperback which the Subterranean version is based on. Science Fiction Book Club also made a hardcover with dustjacket in November 2006.
