My favourite Robert E. Howard character, Solomon Kane, appears to be destined for the silver screen later this year.
Based on what I have seen, the question that first comes to mind is how long before we are swamped with figures based on the titular character? (Take a look at the movie poster and tell me with a straight face that this will NOT be a commercial bust before year's end!).
The second question is how many of the figure-mongers will have taken the time to read the classics in S&S pulp fiction that breathed life into the sombre Puritan?
The third? Will they even care from whence he came?
