Notes
- The Fangs of the Serpent:
- The story references Savage Sword #7, the previous and first appearance of Shamash-Shum-Ukin.
- Shamash-Shum-Ukin states that four or five millenia from then, there's "a certain carpenter who'll be performing miracles". While it seems an obvious reference to Jesus Christ, the datation seems wrong, as the Age of Conan is set about 10,000 BC.
