The Return of Sir Richard Grenville

Robert E. Howard’s stirring yet maudlin poem about friendship and loyalty features the ghost of a long lost comrade of Puritan adventurer Solomon Kane returning from the dead to fight alongside his former friend. A touching tribute to the enduring power of those bonds of brotherhood we forge in our youth, and mourn as we age, the poem’s strength is enhanced by the moody noir atmosphere of this short film by artist Mike Kane.

I found this movie on an old post at Pulp Reader.

If the film has you yearning for derring-do check out this collection of Howard’s Solomon Kane stories.
