Red Sonja

In the late 1970s, Spanish publisher Ediciones Vértice brought the iconic sword-and-sorcery heroine to a new audience with this 11-issue series. Featuring the distinctive, dynamic artwork of Esteban Maroto alongside scripts by Roy Thomas and S. Dulcet, the run captured the savage barbarian spirit of Robert E. Howard’s Hyborian Age. Though brief, it stands as a notable European take on the character, showcasing Maroto’s lush, expressive style that helped define Red Sonja’s visual legacy abroad.
