Red Sonja

Red Sonja is a fictional barbarian warrior and a comic book character featured in titles published first by Marvel Comics, and later by Dynamite Entertainment. She was created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Barry Windsor-Smith and made her first appearance in Conan the Barbarian #23 in February, 1973. After making sporadic appearances in that title, Sonja also had the spotlight title in issues of Marvel Feature before launching into her own ongoing comic book series. Following its discontinuation, a more fully clothed Red Sonja returned for two limited series projects in the 1980s. The character faded into obscurity throughout most of the 1990s and early 2000s, but found herself once again spearheading her own comic book franchise, this time published by Dynamite Entertainment.
