Why Solomon Kane is one of Robert E. Howard’s Greatest Creations

[@Hyperguyver2]

The heroes of the Pulp Era are far more badass than any created in the Golden Age going forward.

[@EternalCrusader-it1jn]

Agreed!

The Blue Flame of Vengeance is one of my favorite Kane stories, its kind of the black sheep of the bunch since it has no supernatural/weird elements

"Harkee, forbye the fires of Hell there is no hotter fire than the blue flame of vengeance which burneth a man's heart night and day without rest until he quench it in blood." - Solomon Kane

I love Solomon Kane! One of the great heroes of fiction.

[@EternalCrusader-it1jn]

I hope we will see more of him in the Future

Sorry, gotta say, wheel lock pistols, not Flint lock, flintlock were a later tech. Otherwise, Great! , loving it!

[@SingolloLomien]

There a few references to flintlocks in the stories. Presumably these are the earlier types and not the "true" flintlock of the 17th century. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flintlock The Moon of Skulls: "in an instant Kane's pistol was in its owner's hand. A second's investigation showed that it was still loaded and the flint still in place." The Hawk of Basti: "Kane's cold eyes roved among the trees; one lean iron hand hardened on the carved sharp - pointed stave he carried, the other hovered near one of the flintlock pistols he wore." The Footfalls Within: "Some carried in their wide girdles long, silver - chased pistols of more effective pattern - flintlocks of Moorish and Turkish make."

My one problem with him is the few stories where he accepts the help of a witch doctor and uses that magic to succeed.

Just bought a collection of the original pulps I'm looking forward to reading them.

[@MaverickX36]

I love this character

[@KaijuBiologist]

Solomon Kane is one of my favorite characters. He is , as George Clooney put it, a mean MotherF***ing Man Of God. And if you can't find the stories for free, Amazon has all of REHs stuff for real cheap. Like .99 cents for a collection.

[@KelsaRavenlock]

The movie has many problems with pacing and narrative and could have been much better. That said I am still glad it exists and enjoyed watching it.

[@KonsalikianOrder-ff6nb]

Solomon Kane, magic for the righteousness of god!

[@Gonar1212]

The best Solomon Kane comics is Darkhorse Castle of the Devil and Deaths Black riders. I bring out both trades near Halloween.

[@FelixstoweFoamForge]

I like the film. A bad lad, trying to do good, because otherwise, he's f'ed

[@wbbartlett]

Too much christian god-bothering for my tastes. Give me Crom, Nyarlathotep, Arioch, Anubis or Hecate every day of the week.

[@crusader5256]

Perhaps so, but I think its cool to have a pulp hero who worships a 'real'(to some) God in a historically inspired period.
