Solomon Kane is a
fictional character created by the
pulp-era writer
Robert E. Howard. A late 16th–early 17th century
Puritan, Solomon Kane is a somber-looking man who wanders the world with no apparent goal other than to vanquish evil in all its forms. His adventures, published mostly in the pulp magazine
Weird Tales, often take him from
Europe to the jungles of
Africa and back.
