Kane (fantasy)
Kane is a fictional character created by American author Karl Edward Wagner in a series of three novels and about 20 short stories published between 1970 and 1985. Most Kane tales are sword and sorcery with strong elements of gothic horror and set in a grim, pre-medieval world which is nonetheless ancient and rich in history. In some of Wagner's later stories, Kane appears in the present day—for example, as a drug dealer in "Lacunae" and as a somewhat suspect publishing magnate in "At First Just Ghostly". Character background Little is known about Kane's origins. In the story "Misericorde", he declares to one of his foes that his father's name was Adam, and his stepmother's name was Eve, possibly making him the biological son of the Biblical Adam's first wife Lilith.

Kane (comics)
''Kane'' is a comic book series created, written and drawn by Paul Grist. Self-published through Dancing Elephant Press, Grist put out 31 issues of ''Kane'' from 1993 to 2001. Overview ''Kane'' concerns a police detective who works in the 39th precinct of the fictional American city of New Eden, which seems to be located on the West Coast. Despite being a UK citizen, Grist appears to have modeled New Eden and its police force in the style of American cop shows such as ''Hill Street Blues'' and ''NYPD Blue''. Another clear influence is the work of Frank Miller, particularly his ''Sin City'' comics. ''Cerebus'' was another formative influence, particularly because it proved to Grist that self-published comics were a viable proposition; the first issue of ''Cerebus'' that Grist read was #39, hence the designation of Kane's precinct. Kane has a difficult relationship with his co-workers due to a violent encounter with his former partner, which unfolds gradually and in flashback d ...
