Dark Horse Comics presents a comics series using Robert E. Howard’s “Death’s Black Riders” fragment and the “Rattle of Bones” short story as springboards to launch into a suspenseful and terrifying new excursion with Howard’s troubled Puritan hero. Scott Allie expands upon Robert E. Howard’s classic Solomon Kane tale “Rattle of Bones” and the unfinished “Death’s Black Riders” fragment, as Mario Guevara and Juan Ferreyra (Rex Mundi, Small Gods) join him to illustrate another horror-tinged adventure. Also features creature designs by Eisner Award-winning artist Guy Davis.

Story/Spoilers
In issue #1, When Kane comes across gypsies being terrorized by roving bandits, he’s not sure what’s worse – the bandits who wish to rob and rape innocent travelers or the evils that spew forth from the forest, intent on killing every man and woman around!

Next in issue #2, Travelers beware! The roads of Germany’s Black Forest are haunted by all manner of wolf, bandit, and demon! After a harrowing battle with the disgusting and deadly Black Rider creatures, even confident, stalwart combatants like Solomon Kane and the mysterious L’Armon know enough to seek safety during the sinister hours of the night. The shelter they’ve stumbled upon looks foreboding, but its heavy doors will keep those that lurk in the forest at bay. However, will the wickedness within this strange tavern prove to be deadlier than the evil beasts roaming outside? Solomon Kane and L’Armon will soon find out. They’re staying at the ominously named Cleft Skull – a place, it is said, that few come to visit twice!

Next in issue #3, When you’re trapped inside an inn that’s been the scene of multiple murders and is now surrounded by a pack of evil, gruesome demons, the last thing you want to find out is that there’s something equally gruesome trapped inside with you! Solomon Kane and a frightened priest may not live through the night! One will rely on his guts and guile, while the other will feel that consecrating the building with prayer will be enough to protect them. The Cleft Skull tavern seems to attract the deadliest sort of troubles Germany’s Black Forest can offer-and the dangers found within and without the Cleft Skull threaten to destroy our strange hero and his frightened, new companion!

Finally in issue #4, The Cleft Skull may be the most dangerous place for travelers in Germany’s Black Forest, but, for the moment, it is Solomon Kane’s only sanctuary from the deadly demons without – Death’s Black Riders! They have surrounded the rickety inn and are waiting for the opportune moment to strike! If he and the Priest are to see England again, they’ll have to confront the Riders head on! Outnumbered and with only two shots in his guns, Solomon Kane will have to rely on his wits and his sword arm to save the Priest and escape the inn alive!
