The Mark of Kane Solomon Kane, Robert E. Howard’s grim Puritan avenger, rivals Howard’s more famous creation, Conan the Barbarian, in the annals of sword-and-sorcery.In this first-ever comprehensive guide, Howard scholar Fred Blosser unravels the mysteries of Kane and his savage world—from treacherous Tudor England and Germany’s demon-haunted Black Forest to a lost outpost of Atlantis and the vampire-ridden hills of darkest Africa.Kane’s relentless quest for vengeance brings him into alliance with Sir Richard Grenville and the enigmatic African sorcerer N’Longa, and pits him against the deadly Le Loup, the evil temptress Nakari, and other memorable villains.Blosser’s meticulous analysis extends from Kane’s original tales to his comic-book second life. In addition, he includes a Kane chronology, a glossary of people and places, and the unexpurgated version of Howard’s first Kane tale, "Red Shadows". The Solomon Kane Companion is your essential guide to one of fantasy’s most iconic and enduring heroes. (It’s fully illustrated, too!)
