Solomon Kane

In the mid-1980s, Marvel Comics brought Robert E. Howard’s brooding Puritan swordsman to life in a six-issue series written primarily by Ralph Macchio. With moody, atmospheric art by Bret Blevins and early-career work from Mike Mignola, the title captured Kane’s grim, supernatural adventures across 17th-century Europe and Africa. This short but memorable run stands as a key interpretation of the character, bridging pulp heritage with the darker edge of Bronze Age comics.
