Review
Patrick Zircher delivers another wonderfully researched story set in the 17th Century world of Solomon Kane. Titan Comics has really struck gold with Zircher and his many talents. The artwork and writing are both top-notch here. I can’t wait to read the next issue. The Lion Errant receives five out of five stars here at the Savage Digest.
