You got to admit that the medieval period, especially around the 16th and 17th centuries mark was a fascinating time. It was an era where religion and superstition held as much power as the thing you call science today, and that resulted in some bizarre practices and unexpected events. This offered great potential for the fantasy sci-fi genre and the sword and sorcery genre in particular. Robert E. Howard is a legend in his own rights, and he was the one to cultivate the immense potential of premising fiction in this era. He is often hailed as the father of the sword and sorcery genre, and the fans have loved his immortal creations such as Conan the Barbarian.
Another one of his unforgettable creations is Solomon Kane and the adventures based around him. This was a Puritan who roamed the world simply to fight the evil forces and thus, his journeys and adventures were plentiful. Most of the Solomon Kane stories were published in Weird Tales, an American fantasy and horror fiction pulp magazine that printed works of promising writers like Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith. Besides some fascinating stories, there has also been a live-action adaptation and Solomon Kane became popular as a brand. In this video, we will explore the origin of this mysterious hero, his adventures, and also the feature film based upon this character.
