Synopsis for "The Valley of the Worm!"
- Synopsis not yet written
Notes
- This issue is based on the short story "The Valley of the Worm" by fantasy author Robert E. Howard, one of Howard's "James Allison" stories.
- It was adapted by Roy Thomas for the plot and by Thomas and Gerry Conway for the script.[2]
- Wein and Costanza are uncredited.
- Perseus, Beowulf, Saint George, and Siegfried appear as examples of legendary beings whose stories were inspired by the true story of Niord. James Allison implies that he doesn't believe any of them existed; however, Perseus, Beowulf, and Siegfried all do exist in the Prime Marvel Universe, and while Allison may be correct that the legend of Saint George and the Dragon is fictional, that does not mean Saint George is fictional. Historically, George was a Christian saint for hundreds of years before the legend of the dragon was attached to his life story.[3]
- Niord's story is seemingly set in the Hyborian Age, circa 9,500 BC.
- James Allison refuses to precise the era.
- However, two elements known to be set circa 9,500 BC are mentioned in the issue:
