Abstract

In the United Estates during the xix century the pulps, magazines with fantastic stories, more of one hundred pages and a very economic price – only ten cents–, were the favorite entertainment of a society with economic and social serious problems. In the pages of the pulps magazines every month appeared stories of science-fiction, jungle adventures and a new subgenre of heroic fantasy, the sword and sorcery. The most important writer was Robert E. Howard with two characters, Conan the barbarian and Kull of Valusia what, in the decade of 60’s were published by Marvel Comics Group, the most important editorial of comic books.
