The Haunters of Castle Crimson is freely adapted from the story The Slave Princess by Robert E. Howard.
The Hyborian Age is adapted from the homonymous essay by Robert E. Howard. It was later adapted in an abridged version in Conan the Adventurer #5, presenting events from Chapter I: The Pre-Cataclysmic Age (Savage Sword of Conan #7), Chapter II: The Rise of the Hyborians (Savage Sword of Conan #8), and Chapter III: The Hyborian Kingdoms.
In The Hyborian Kingdoms, Conan appears in the last page, but the story itself does not feature him.
