I bought the Wandering Star Solomon Kane volume upon publication in the early 2000s. It was actually the first volume they published. The Internet wasnt't as sophisticated as it is now and they had this pretty "raw" web page dedicated to the book with "rolling skulls" adorning the Solomon Kane name, and some pics of the book to come. I'll never forget the thrill I got from this. Ah, the old times!

I liked that Solomon Kane movie!

I like to think it's a long bloodline of warriors with their own code killing evil men and monsters: it started with Kull, then Conan, then Bran Mak Morn, then Solomon Kane. Obviously this theory isn't new but it's not one I've seen talked about.

Solomon Kane is a very interesting character right next to Conan.

Everytime you say "The Robert E. Howard Show" I get this image of REH coming out from behind the curtain cracking jokes in a monologue before bringing on tonight's special guests Walter Gibson, Lester Dent, and H!P! Looovvveeecraft!

One thing to mention too: these paperback editions are taken from the original Wandering Star deluxe publications: very hard to find but, oh man, they're gorgeous!!!!

As much as I love Conan, my favorite Howard hero has always been Solomon Kane. Such a great, original, quirky character. He walks the earth looking for demons to slay, and he slays them.
@maestro7058
I had read this one and I think this is an absolute masterpiece and all thanks to you! Moreover I read Conan as well but something stuck me even like half a percentage point closer to heart even than Conan and Conan is one of the greatest things I have EVER read in my life. Solomon Kane is an absolute perfection, ideal an icon of wordsmith! This is beyond human, the ability to write like this Howard had a mysticism, he is more than human!

For those inclined, I recommend finding some smooth midnight jazz to have on in the background, while you go on a binge of Michael's REH videos.

You've sold me on Solomon Kane. I'm looking forward to these discussions!
@brenthatcher5748
I had that first paperback you showed years ago. Hadn't seen it in probably 40 years. Thanks for the flashback.

My father was a Methodist Missionary out in the West Indies. I’m not sure he did a lot of smiting evil. But he could have been the Solomon Kane of his day... I just got this and the Omni. The movie didn’t grab me though. Thanks for. getting me intoHoward... oh..nice shirt. Belated Happy Birthday.

"Men shall die for this" sounds a bit like what Billy the Kid said in front of the corpse of Tuntstall "I'll get some before I die"

I'm a huge REH fan. But I'm an even bigger Sherlock Holmes guy. Nice to see Baring Gould and Klinger annotated editions on your shelves.

I’m definitely going to be reading some Solomon Kane in view of your discussions of him. 👍
