Thulsa Doom.


Fantasy lovers are lucky!. We´re gonna enjoy with a "spin off"movie where Thulsa Doom is the main character. What?..Who´s that guy?.....Thulsa Doom is a fictional character first appearing in the Kull short story Delcardes' Ct by Robert E. Howard. A powerful necromancer, Thulsa Doom is Kull's primary foe.Kull The Destroyer runs until it was cancelled again.Thulsa Doom returns as a Conan villain in the pages of his own comic and some issues of Conan black and white comic MAGAZINES. (Savage Sword of Conan#190-193) - Conan encountered Thulsa Doom. He later becomes an enemy of the Celtic hero Cormac mac Art, another Howard character further expanded by Andrew J. Offutt. He is apparently immortal and is visualized as a skull-headed sorcerer, or as an albino when taking on the illusory appearance of a living man.

A character of the same name is the antagonict in the 1982 movie Conan the Barbarian. Played by James Earl Jones, the cinematic Thulsa Doom is considerably different from the literary one, who is described as having a skull-like face. He was the boss of the gang who made Conan´s life impossible. Ah! He loved snakes and he could transform into.......AAAAAAAHHH!!!
