Red Sonja
A fierce warrior woman from the Hyrkanian steppes, Red Sonja was forged by tragedy and blessed by the goddess Scáthach with unmatched combat skill. She roams the Hyborian Age as a sword-for-hire, her iconic red mail armor making her one of fantasy comics' most recognizable figures.
Forged in the Bronze Age and introduced in Paragon Super Heroes #1 in 1973 by creator Bill Black, Red Sonja has grown into one of comics' most enduring sword-and-sorcery icons, racking up 253 catalog appearances across an impressive 53-year publishing history. She's headlined multiple series under Dynamite Entertainment — including Red Sonja and Immortal Red Sonja — and her adventures have placed her in remarkable company alongside the likes of Conan, Vampirella, and even Spider-Man himself. With three key issues to her name and a legacy stretching from the Bronze Age all the way to 2026, she's a collector's dream and a testament to the timeless appeal of fierce, mythic heroism. If you haven't explored her catalog yet, there's never been a better moment to dive in.
