In the 1970s Creator/MarvelComics, who'd licenced several of Howard's creations (most notably Conan) gained the rights to publish [[ComicBook/SolomonKaneMarvelComics comics based on Solomon Kane]].

Though he always acted on impulse, he firmly believed that all his actions were governed by cold and logical reasonings. He was a man born out of his time -- a strange blending of Puritan and Cavalier, with a touch of the ancient philosopher, and more than a touch of the pagan, though the last assertion would have shocked him unspeakably. An atavist of the days of blind chivalry he was, a knight errant in the somber clothes of the fanatic. A hunger in his soul drove him on and on, an urge to right all wrongs, protect all weaker things, avenge all crimes against right and justice. Wayward and restless as the wind, he was consistent in only one respect -- he was true to his ideals of justice and right. Such was Solomon Kane."

Howard's "Death's Black Riders" is barely two pages and contains no references to the mythos. Henderson added that it when he completed the story after Howard's death - I've not seen any evidence it was originally planned.
