Solomon Kane #4

The fourth chapter of Marvel's six-issue limited series finds Solomon Kane and a companion facing something truly unsettling — a skeletal, snake-entwined revenant looming over them in what appears to be a stone chamber, a mysterious ornate shield lying on the ground between the combatants. Mike Mignola's cover artwork crackles with grim energy, the figures' desperate sword-raised stances conveying real danger against this supernatural foe. Robert E. Howard's Puritan adventurer has rarely looked this imperiled, and with Ralph Macchio writing and Al Williamson inking Mignola's pencils, the creative team behind this 1986 series is firing on all cylinders.
