Solomon Kane, the first great hero created by Conan's creator Robert E. Howard, in his classic Marvel adventures! Robert E. Howard created many unforgettable heroes for American pulp magazines. Even before his barbarian Conan, he conceived the puritan adventurer Solomon Kane. In poems and stories that blend fantasy and horror, Howard sent him out as a champion of good to fight evil throughout the 16th century. In 1973, Solomon Kane became a Marvel hero, with adventures illustrated by Roy Thomas, Howard Chaykin, David Wenzel, Ralph Macchio, Don Glut, Mike Mignola, and others.

This volume collects all the classic Marvel comics featuring Solomon Kane that were published up to 1994: in famous anthology series like Marvel Premiere; in the comic magazine The Savage Sword of Conan, focused on grand fantasy art; or in Solomon Kane's first series as the title character. Thanks to the complete, chronological compilation of this collection, readers can excellently trace Kane's journey through Marvel and comic history – and wander alongside the punisher of evil!

Whether in rich colors or atmospheric black-and-white: the adaptations of Howard's texts and new stories from Marvel creators are always fantastic genre entertainment. Kane faces werewolves, demons, vampires, dragons, and pirates, and his travels take him around the world – to the Black Forest, southern France, the shadows of Castle Frankenstein, and the African continent. He even encounters Dracula and the Cimmerian Conan…
