Notes
Editor: Roy Thomas
The credits in CONAN THE BARBBARIAN #73 state that the story was "Freely adapted from a plot by REH."
In BARBARIAN LIFE Volume 2, 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. As best he recalls, the outline was a pirate piece, possibly for Black Vulmea.  Reference: BARBARIAN LIFE Volume 2 by Roy Thomas, Pulp Hero Press
