Roy Thomas writes that the story was from
a "page-or-so-long outline of a story called 'The Well of Skelos'
written sometime in the 1920s or early 1930s by REH." Thomas also writes
that Glenn Lord sent him the synopsis to possibly turn into a Conan story.

This story was originally prepared as a
40 page tale for The Savage Sword of Conan.
The 40 page story was expanded to 51 story pages to fill three issues Conan
the Barbarian (#79, 80, 81).
New pages (including splashes) were drawn by Ernie Chan to bridge the gap.
Some of these pages have not yet been attributed to him.
