Solomon Kane my favorite of Howard's creations now in comic book form.
The Art: Is very nice in this book with a number of different artists all doing good work and capturing the feel of the character and the worlds he passes through. The coloring has all been redone and over all takes on a lot of dark pastels which suit the series very well. Lots of greys and grey blue hues throughout with reds and oranges used mostly for punctuation of a panel or of some action.

I have previously lamented the fact that the excellent 1985 series The Sword of Solomon Kane remained uncollected.

This book contains some pretty good adaptations of Robert E. Howard's Solomon Kane tales. This volume, published by Dark Horse, supposedly collects all of the Marvel-published Kane stories. One story, "Red Shadows," is actually adapted twice, once in the mid-1970's and then again in the mid-1980's. While the retellings are slightly different it's still kind of odd reading the same story twice in a row.
There are two original stories in the book, both written by Ralph Macchio More...

This volume collects a two volume series called The Mark of Kane and a later six issue miniseries called The Sword of Solomon Kane.
Despite scripts by Roy Thomas, the former is a little on the cheesy side, but I was pleasantly surprised by the Sword of Solomon Kane series. With only six issues to work with, I found it baffling that they spent time making a few original stories (one called The Prophet was particularly sleight and disappointing, despite excellent Mike Mignola artwork) ra More...
