Dark Horse Comics
It was announced at the 2006 Comic Con that Paradox Entertainment has completed a publishing deal with Dark Horse Comics for a Solomon Kane comic series, to be written by Scott Allie. The first two arcs featured completed versions of two Howard fragments — "The Castle of the Devil" and "Death's Black Riders." The first issue picks Kane up traveling through the Black Forest after ending his military career. It was a five-issue mini-series, based on "Castle of the Devil", and featured art by Mario Guevara (pencils), Dave Stewart (colors) and John Cassaday (covers). An eight page sample was posted on the Dark Horse Presents MySpace page in June 2008 and the first issue was published in September 2008.
The second arc, "Death's Black Riders", was a four-issue series published from January 2010 to June 2010. The third arc, "Red Shadows," had its first issue published in April 2011. Red Shadows, based on a Robert E. Howard story and previously interpreted by Marvel in Marvel Premiere #33-34 (1976), follows Solomon Kane as he tracks Le Loup, an expert French swordsman and womanizer with a habit of killing his conquests, through Europe, across the Mediterranean, and down the West coast of Africa.
