Kull and the Serpent-Men created by Robert E. Howard

Brief Description:
1st story.
The Serpent Society has taken on a job for Ghaur and Llyra to acquire some mystical items. Diamondback tries to steal something from the mysterious Mr. Jip. As punishment, he switches her and Dazzler’s consciousnesses. The X-Men try to set things right again but, instead of being transported to Mr. Jip’s place, they are sent to three different locales where the X-Men battle the members of the Serpent Society for the magical trinkets. In each case, the X-Men win but Longshot becomes lost in an avalanche. The X-Men are transported back to Mr. Jip, who returns Diamondback and Dazzler to their right bodies and returns Longshot to them in exchange for the trinkets. However, Diamandback and Sidewinder pull a fast one on him and steal the trinkets for Ghaur and Llyra, unaware what horrors the Lemurians plan to unleash with them…

2nd story:
When the X-Ladies return from their trip to the mall, Jubilee stows away with them. With Gateway’s help, she makes herself a home in the Outback complex with none of the X-Men the wiser. One day, while bathing in the underground lake, Jubilee is attacked by a robot dog. Terrified, she unleashes her power at it and realizes that, far more than just sparkles, her power can actually destroy things.

3rd story:
Some of the protohumans of prehistoric Earth return to their sacred garden to find strangers there who offer them gifts, provided they turn against their own people and help them with the space gods. The wanderers refuse, fighting the strangers, who turn out to be disguised Serpent Men, the servants of Set. Soon the Celestials come to alter and elevate humanity while leaving the servants of Set behind. Humanity fights the serpents until King Kull finally eradicates them.
