Dragon King

Dragon Kings are a species created by Lin Carter and later adapted into the comic book format by Marvel Comics.
==Background==
The Dragon Kings are descendants of the Elder God Set. It's a race which was sired by his son Sligguth, spawned a million years ago (together with the race known as the Serpent Men). Half a million years ago, in the time of elder Hyperborea, the Dragon Kings ruled the Earth (including the continent of Lemuria). It was the Age of Dragons, when reptilian kings and necromancers ruled the land, studying dark magic and building monolithic cities of black stone. Masters of science and technology, unlike any seen on Earth.
They worshiped the Lords of Chaos, including Iao Thamungazoth.
==Behind the Mythos==
Created by Lin Carter for his Thongor series of fantasy novels, the Dragon Kings first appeared in 1965 in The Wizard of Lemuria. They were later adapted by Marvel Comics in 1973 by Val Mayerik and Gardner Fox, making their debut appearance in issue #26 of Volume 1 of the Creatures on the Loose comic book series.
