Red Sonja #36

Red Sonja finds herself in desperate straits on this cover by Mel Rubi — chained and kneeling, she brandishes an axe against a massive, fanged reptilian creature that looms over her with jaws wide open and claws poised to strike. The tension between her defiant posture and the sheer scale of the beast captures everything that makes the She-Devil with a Sword such a compelling character. Brian Reed and Walter Geovani bring their talents to this 2008 Dynamite issue, with colors by Vinicius Andrade lending the scene a vivid, fiery atmosphere.
