fantasy
Sareeta's mother
We have been enemies to the Seven Empires since the dawn of time...
Sareeta, an Atlantean who married a Lemurian pirate, has been captured after being washed ashore when the pirate ship was broken. As Kull arrives, she is about to be burned for bringing shame to Atlantis. With her nodded assent, Kull hurls his dagger just under her heart, killing her instantly to spare her an agonizing death. Kull's tribesmen chase him with the intent of slaying him for violating their code of morals, but are unable to catch him.

This is not a complete story. According to the splash page notes, Barry Smith and Roy Thomas were planning a paperback comic book dealing with the early days of Kull of Atlantis. The paperback never happened, but Smith did a number of finished drawings in preparation for the book. Some of those drawings are presented here with quotations from the story "Exile Of Atlantis" by Robert E. Howard.
