About the series
Marvel brought the flame-haired barbarian to her own ongoing series from 1983 to 1986, a 13-issue run that saw Red Sonja carving her own path through the Hyborian Age. Writers Louise Simonson, Mary Wilshire, and Tom DeFalco, alongside artists like Wilshire, Pat Broderick, and Dave Simons, gave the warrior woman adventures that balanced sword-and-sorcery action with a fierce, independent spirit. This series solidified Sonja as a distinct Marvel heroine, separate from her Conan origins, and remains a key chapter in her long comic legacy.
