Solomoncane is thrilled.
Agreed. The art works.BadMojo said:Wow, that's awesome. I got goosebumps when I saw that art. If that's any indication, they've definitely got the "feel" of Solomon Kane.
Michael Dean said:This part is just uninformed speculation on my part: I would guess you could theoretically publish old Conan stories (or Solomon Kane), you just couldn't use their names in the stories (which I presume is what is actually trademarked). I could be way off base on that though.

It's not quite as simple as that, but you have it partly right. I pulled some info from here.Michael Dean said:I'm not a real lawyer yet, so take this with a salt-lick size grain of salt. Ordinarily, I think a copyright will last 70 years after the author's death.
Works created after 1/1/1978—life of the longest surviving author plus 70 years—earliest possible PD date is 1/1/2048
Works registered before 1/1/1978—95 years from the date copyright was secured.
Works registered before 1/1/1923—Copyright protection for 75 years has expired and these works are in the public domain.
The Good News—works published in the United States in 1922 or earlier are in the public domain even if they are not yet 95 years old.
The Bad News—no new works will enter the public domain until January 1, 2019.
