Solomon Kane is a fictional character created by the pulp-era writer Robert E. Howard. Howard is best known as the creator of Conan the Barbarian, but Kane was his first heroic character. 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 often take him from Europe to the jungles of Africa and back. "Red Shadows", the first Solomon Kane story, was published in the pulp magazine Weird Tales, August 1928.
