Cover by Joe Kurbert. SOLOMON KANE #1 (of 5) Scott Allie (W), Mario Guevara (P), Dave Stewart (C) FC, 32 pages Robert E. Howard's vengeance-obsessed puritan begins his supernatural adventures in the haunted Black Forest of Germany in this five-issue adaptation of Howard's 'The Castle of the Devil.' When Solomon Kane stumbles upon the body of a boy hanged from a rickety gallows, he goes after the man responsible-a baron feared by the peasants from miles around. Something far worse than the devilish baron or the terrible, intelligent wolf that prowls the woods lies hidden in the ruined monastery beneath the baron's castle, where a devil-worshipping priest died in chains centuries ago. Dark Horse's original Conan editor, Scott Allie, writes the series, with art by Mario Guevara and Dave Stewart, who reinvents his revolutionary color technique from Conan. • See this team's debut Kane story now at Myspace.com/DarkHorsePresents. • John Cassaday provides covers for this series, with a special issue #1 variant cover by Joe Kubert!

Published Oct 2008 by Dark Horse.$2.80
Scott Allie (W), Mario Guevara (P), Dave Stewart (C), John Cassaday (Cover), and Laura Martin (Cover Colors) Miniseries 'It has fallen upon me, now and again in my sojourns through the world, to ease various evil men of their lives.' Mysteries emerge during Solomon Kane's stay in the Castle of the Devil-the beasts that prey upon the local peasantry make their presence known, and another body is discovered. Kane begins to doubt the legends about the ancient chapel beneath the castle. Did a devil-worshiping monk really die there at the hands of his brothers, or was there something even more sinister afoot? And what lives down there now? Expands upon Robert E. Howard's unfinished 'Castle of the Devil.' 'With art and writing that perfectly captures the pulp weirdness of his birth, Solomon Kane officially becomes the only Puritan I've ever been a fan of. Don't miss out on these weird tales, you'll regret it.' -Ed Brubaker (Award-winning writer of Captain America, Criminal, and Iron Fist) FC, 32 pages Cover price $2.99.

Issue #4
Published Jan 2009 by Dark Horse.$2.50
Scott Allie (W), Mario Guevara (P), Dave Stewart (C), and John Cassaday (Cover) An action-filled frenzy! With his host wounded-and bodies piling up in both the Black Forest and the Castle of the Devil-Solomon Kane tries to keep himself and his deceptively simple companion, John Silent, from quick deaths on the gallows. The lovely, scheming Mahasti is missing, supernatural horrors lurk in the forest, and Baron von Staler becomes a bit unhinged. Expanding upon Robert E. Howard's unfinished 'Castle of the Devil' story, writer Scott Allie (Devil's Footprints, Star Wars: Empire), newcomer Mario Guevara (The Lone Ranger and Tonto), and coloring visionary Dave Stewart (Umbrella Academy, Hellboy) deliver a compelling, horror-filled adventure that is faithful to Howard's original Solomon Kane work. 'Solomon Kane is one of the toughest Robert E. Howard heroes to adapt to the comics page, but Scott Allie and Mario Guevara have done a stunning job. Unsettling, moody, and eerily beautiful, their Kane is absolutely worthy of his creator.' -Kurt Busiek Solomon Kane © 2008 Solomon Kane Inc. ('SKI').
