Solomon Kane: The Original Comics Omnibus Vol. 1
Set in the late 16th-17th Century, Solomon Kane, often described as a living weapon of God, is depicted 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-worshipping devotees, to pirates, cannibals, demons, werewolves, and vampires.
This collection spans 15 years and gathers 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 βA 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.β
Now Kaneβs complete, classic original comic strip adventures are collected in one jaw-dropping omnibus volume! Featuring adaptations of Robert E. Howardβs 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. Also 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, this collection includes: MARVEL PREMIERE (1972) 33-34; THE SWORD OF SOLOMON KANE (1985) 1-6; MATERIAL FROM CONAN SAGA (1987) 50, DRACULA LIVES! (1973) 3, KULL AND THE BARBARIANS (1975) 2-3, MARVEL PREVIEW (1975) 19, MONSTERS UNLEASHED (1973) 1, and SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN (1974) 13-14, 18-20, 22, 25, 26, 33-34, 37, 39, 41, 53-54, 62, 83, 162, 169, 171, 219, 220.
