Solomon Kane

Dark Horse’s 2008–2009 Solomon Kane series, a five-issue miniseries, adapts Robert E. Howard’s brooding Puritan adventurer with scripts co-written by Howard himself (via his original stories) and Scott Allie, brought to life by artist Mario Guevara’s atmospheric, shadow-drenched art. This run distills the grim, supernatural pulp of the 1930s into a taut comics experience, capturing Kane’s relentless, faith-driven hunt for evil across a savage, mystic world. It matters as a faithful, visually striking revival of one of Howard’s most complex creations, bridging classic weird fiction with modern horror comics.
