Solomon Kane: The Original Comics Omnibus Vol. 1

THE WORLD’S MIGHTEST 16th CENTURY PURITANICAL ADVENTURER! From the genius mind of Robert E. Howard, creator of CONAN THE BARBARIAN comes another sword-and-sorcery legend, Solomon Kane. Set in the 16th Century, Kane is a Puritan avenger roaming the known world on a quest to combat the forces of darkness in all its forms.

Set in the late 16th-17th Century, Solomon Kane oft described as a living weapon of God, is described as a tall, thin, dour one-man war-machine traveling the world spreading the good word and delivering vengeance and wrath upon the evil and corrupt, from devil-worshiping devotees, to pirates, cannibals, demons, werewolves and vampires.

This collection spans 15 years and collects over 600 pages of jaw-busting action. Solomon Kane first appeared in the legendary magazine Weird Tales back in 1928, and was described by his creator, the legendary Robert E. Howard as “A man born out of time, a strange blending of Puritan and Cavalier, with a touch of the ancient philosopher and a touch of the pagan.

A knight errant in the sombre clothes of a fanatic. A hunger in his soul drove him on and on, an urge to right all wrongs, protect all weaker things, avenge all crimes against right and justice.” Now Kane’s complete, classic original comic strip adventures are collected in one jaw-dropping Omnibus volume! Featuring adaptations of Robert E.

Howard’s formative tales and new chapters by such scribes as Roy Thomas, Ralph Macchio, Don Glut and Doug Moench. With artwork by David T. Wenzel, Howard Chaykin, Al Williamson and Colin MacNeil and featuring legendary artists Neal Adams, Mike Mignola, Mike Zeck and John Ridgway.

From the sinister forests of 16th Century England battling witch-covens, across central Europe fighting vampires, and to the plains of Africa raining vengeance upon cannibals and demons alike.
