Ghita of Alizarr

Frank Thorne — the legendary artist who helped define Red Sonja's iconic look — brought Ghita of Alizarr to Fantagraphics in 1990, channeling his signature blend of sword-and-sorcery spectacle and unbridled artistic sensuality into a character unmistakably his own creation. Emerging at the dawn of the '90s in The Erotic Worlds of Frank Thorne, Ghita shares her pages with the likes of Red Sonja and Lann, keeping vivid, adventurous company indeed. Her catalog footprint is small but choice — the kind of rare, creator-driven gem that rewards the dedicated collector willing to seek out the edges of the Copper/Modern Age. If you love your fantasy heroines bold, your art lush, and your comics unapologetically auteur, Ghita of Alizarr is absolutely worth tracking down.
