    Red Sonja reminds me of Doc Savage in that her popularity has persisted, although she's never gone mainstream. She's made it across different publishers and eras. So here's my question: what do you folks think accounts for her enduring popularity?

    To me she is a sexy kick girl

    I collect the pre 1980 books but I have to admit the new ones are far better presentations

    her enduring popularity = sex appeal

    Some background

    -- Excerpt from The Hyborian Age - Conan 78

     

    Red Sonja (as in Red Sonya of Rogatin ) appears in a historical adventure written by Robert E howard

    knows as * The shadow of the Vulture * which takes place in 1563 . At about the time he was casting

    about to find a counterpart for Conan whose future was not known (as apposed to Belit ) writer editor

    Roy heard of and read that story. Thus instead of making up a character as he intended to do . Taking

    equal parts of authentic hyborian-age heroin's Belit and Valeria (of the later Red Nails) Roy decided to

    yank Red Sonya out of the sixteenth century change her name to Red Sonja and make her a she-devil

    with a sword in the age of Conan

    :)

    So for you true Red Sonja fan club members. What is her true first appearance? First full appearance? One of the Conan books? Os was it a King Kull comic? I know I've seen the two Conans marked as such but I feel like I've seen the King Kull, too.

    I think what you saw was kull and the barbarians magazine #3

    that I don't have and seems imposable to find but it is like this one in size

    The best of my knowledge was conan 23 /24 she was introduced As Red Sonja

    But wizard will probably correct me on that :)

    I think I'm becoming a real hoarder for this book. I just keep buying them for some reason. Anyway, I just picked up this beautiful raw copy (9.2-9.4) for what I thought was a relatively cheap price. If I had any complaints, I'd say the PQ was not my usual standard. It's between OW and OW/W. Not tan enough to be categorized as completely OW, but not as quite as good as some of the OW/W copies I've seen.

     

     

    Your addiction has just begun :)

    It is so hard to stop !!!
