Wrightson - Solomon Kane to the rescue

Two of my favorites in one! Artist Bernie Wrightson and character Solomon Kane. I can tell you I was pretty excited to bring this one in!

A striking illustration, here Wrightson showcases his masterful cross-hatching technique, using delicate shifts in pressure to blend ink and graphite into a seamless, brooding whole.

One of the only 2 examples I'm aware of where Wrightson and Kane are intersected. I believe this is from "Footfalls Within" where Kane rescues a slave, though it might also be from "Moon of Skulls" where he rescues Marylin Taferal, from Queen Nakari, “the vampire queen of Negari”.

Anyone knows which one?

Apparently Bernie may have done this as part of a "Studio" project, where he collaborated with the likes of Jeff Jones, Barry Windsor-Smith, Adrian Bode and Mike Kaluta. For his effort, apparently Jones enlisted Adrian Bode to model the person being modeled.
