King Solomon

Few characters can claim a publishing life rooted in the Platinum Age, but King Solomon made his comics debut all the way back in 1924 in the pages of Judge, brought to life by Donald McKee. Over a remarkable span stretching more than five decades to 1977, this biblical monarch found his way into titles as varied as Dennis the Menace and the Bible Kids and Picture Stories from the Bible Complete Old Testament Edition, proving that the legendary wise king of scripture has always had a place on the illustrated page. It's a fascinating cross-section of American comics history — from early humor magazines to wholesome educational fare — and a testament to how enduring a figure Solomon remains for storytellers across every era.
