Red Sonja #16

Red Sonja — She-Devil with a Sword — faces down a massive, fanged dragon-serpent on this striking cover by penciler Eric Basaldua and inker Matt Banning, her sword raised high as she stands defiantly atop a grim pile of skulls and skeletal remains. The ferocity in her expression matches the creature's snapping jaws, making issue #16 of Dynamite's 2006 run feel genuinely charged with peril. Part five of "The Return of Kulan Gath" arc, this chapter promises the kind of sword-and-sorcery intensity that keeps readers coming back to Hyborian adventures.
