Notes
- From the series record (Kull of Atlantis (lifetime-published stories)): The only 2 Kull-as-protagonist stories Howard sold and saw published in his own lifetime (both Weird Tales, 1929) -- confirmed via a dedicated Howard-scholarship source (The Pulp Super-Fan) and Wikipedia. A third lifetime-published story, 'Kings of the Night' (Weird Tales, November 1930), features Kull as a time-displaced guest character in a story primarily about Bran Mak Morn -- registered under Bran Mak Morn's own Core Canon instead (admitted separately, this same run), with the crossover noted here rather than the same book double-registered under two universes.
