* CoversAlwaysLie: One ''Marvel Premiere'' cover shows Kane defending himself from a huge KillerGorilla while an African tribeswoman in a leopard skin FurBikini cowers in the background. There's no such woman in the story - and [[spoiler:the gorilla ''saves'' Kane's life by attacking the hunter who ambushes him, then leaves peacefully]].

''Solomon Kane'' is a series of comic book stories published by Creator/MarvelComics. The title character is an adaptation of author Creator/RobertEHoward's hero Franchise/SolomonKane, a 16th century Puritan wanderer.
Kane travels the world, confronting both human and supernatural evils, seeking justice and vengeance on behalf of those who have suffered. Fuelled by his faith but never evangelical, in many stories Kane also carries a magical staff entrusted to him by his African ally N'Longa, a powerful ju-ju man.
Although most of the stories stand alone, some connect Kane to the other Howard characters licensed by Marvel, and also to the wider Franchise/MarvelUniverse.
Marvel published their first ''Solomon Kane'' story in 1973, a direct adaptation of Howard's "The Skulls in the Stars". As with most subsequent Kane tales, it was a back-up story within the black and white {{anthology comic}} ''Savage Sword of Conan''. It was followed by a mix of adaptations and entirely new tales (including one that featured Dracula and another that used Castle Frankenstein as a setting).
At the end of 1976, a two-part Solomon Kane story, a direct adaptation of Howard's "Red Shadows", was also printed in ''Marvel Premiere'', a full color RotatingProtagonist comic.
In 1985, Kane finally starred in his own [[ComicBook/SolomonKane1985 six-issue limited series]], which mixed new stories with adaptations of Howard's tales - all of which had already been adapted once in the earlier comics. The last Solomon Kane story in ''Savage Sword of Conan'' was printed in 1994, finally bringing Kane face-to-face with ComicBook/ConanTheBarbarian himself.
Marvel subsequently lost the license to Howard's characters and Kane, along with his other creations, moved to Creator/DarkHorseComics, who released their own, very different, adaptations.
In 2019, the rights returned to Marvel and Kane appeared as one of the protagonists of the crossover series ''ComicBook/ConanSerpentWar'', but no other new stories were released.
In 2023, the comic rights to Howard's characters move once again, this time to Creator/TitanComics, who have announced that they will release their own ''Solomon Kane'' stories.
