Red Sonja Queen of the Frozen Wastes #1

Red Sonja Queen of the Frozen Wastes #1 (2007) kicks off with a striking blend of mythic fantasy and fierce female agency, as the legendary warrior finds herself imprisoned beneath the ice by a centuries-old queen who rules over yetis and Neanderthals in a hidden cavern realm. Written by Frank Cho and Doug Murray, with bold artwork by Homs and dynamic coloring by Will Murai, the story introduces a chillingly intimate threat: a ruler who sees Sonja as both a prize and a rare specimen—her first encounter with a human woman, and one she intends to claim. Frank Cho’s distinctive cover art, both pencils and inks, captures the tension of the moment with haunting elegance.
