American Comics Update: Marvel #1: Red Sonja, She-Devil With A Sword
*Marvel: Following her guest appearances in Conan the Barbarian, demand for a Red Sonja solo series mounted, and after a trial run in Marvel Feature (second series) the ‘revised’ version as redesigned by Frank Thorne gained her own series in 1977, notorious chain-mail bikini and all (that’s gotta chafe, hon). Despite the skimpier clothing, Thorne’s Sonja was often more scary than sexy, as Thorne often drew her with intense expressions that bordered on the deranged, for a very mixed message indeed. This is a lovely pence printed copy of #1, flat, tight and glossy, with just the most minimal handling wear at spine.
