Red Sonja #4

Red Sonja — the She-Devil with a Sword — finds herself in a desperate, close-quarters struggle on this 1984 Marvel cover, her fiery red hair splaying wildly as massive green claws or tendrils pin her against a rocky surface, sword raised at her side. The tension is palpable and visceral, with cover art by Mary Wilshire, inked by Ian Akin and Brian Garvey, capturing Sonja's fierce, wide-eyed defiance in the face of something enormous and monstrous. With a story titled "Lassusar Must Die!", this issue promises the kind of sword-and-sorcery adventure that made Red Sonja one of Marvel's most compelling heroines of the era.
