Solson Publications was a New York-based black-and-white comic book publisher active in the 1980s and revived in the late 1990s. The company was founded by Gary Brodsky, son of long-time Marvel Comics executive Sol Brodsky; the name of the company was derived from Brodsky's name: "Sol's son" = Solson.

The company's first published title was 1985's How to Draw Comics Comic, by Allan J. Fromberg, with art samples by John Byrne and John Romita Jr.. Many of Solson's titles were connected with, or spoofs of, Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. One of Solson's most notorious titles was Reagan's Raiders, which featured then-U.S. president Ronald Reagan and members of his cabinet as costumed adventurers in the mold of Nick Fury and his Howling Commandos.^[1] The company also published a number of how-to books on various aspects of the comics industry, many featuring art by Rich Buckler. Solson was active in the years 1986–1987 and then went dormant.

In 1997, the company re-emerged with a series of how-to books by Gary Brodsky and Albert Occhino, many related to erotic art. The company went defunct again after 1999.
