PeterPark Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 That's much nicer than the piddly little pic of her in #33. That pence is sweet, but look at this bad boy! Looks like a mid/low grade copy? :shrug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizardseye311 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 That's much nicer than the piddly little pic of her in #33. That pence is sweet, but look at this bad boy! Looks like a mid/low grade copy? :shrug: I was talking about the Red Sonja picture in Conan #61 compared to the image of her in Conan #33. Neither book is on the list of Red Sonja appearances because she's not really part of the story line in those issues. Gyro and myself tend to disagree on this matter. Also, CGC graded copies don't list an appearance by her either. In issue #33 there is one small image of her as a flashback from #24. The #61 image is much larger, and nicer, but she's still not part of the story line like she is in #23, #24, #43, #44, #48, etc. Graded copies of these do list a Red Sonja appearance.The sweetness I was referring to was the fact that Gyro found a Pence copy (which he digs) of Conan #61, and the 30 cent price variant that I posted is even rarer. The condition had nothing to do with the post. Just the cool factor of the price variants for the same issue. I thought it was funny that someone actually bought the 30 cent copy on eBay right after I posted the pic whatever the grade was, they wanted it pretty bad.

Coyote Calhoon Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 The Amanda Conner cover sure looks a like a Jim Balent cover - just sayin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizardseye311 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 The Amanda Conner cover sure looks a like a Jim Balent cover - just sayin... It is reminiscent of his #16, #17, and #18 Red Sonja run. Subconsciously, it may be why I like it so much more than the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read the article about the Red Sonja reboot it said female artist were sending in images without even being asked. So they should have covers for a while. At least until the novelty wears off. If the stories don't appeal, or people have no interest, then what can you do? Dynamite isn't under the same sales pressure as the big 2. Hopefully they give it a chance to grow, and develop a new fan base without alienating the existing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyro-1 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Conan / Kull / Red Sonja / Tarzan / Doc Savage many many more ---- all have a history and in a place like CGC forums there is a lot of history talk What I don't think the new readers get is you cant invent history with new #1s for us who read the older books That said new kids to comics should be allowed to have their own history and dreams What I worry about is the artists or writers can reinvent a corrector (like removing the bikini armor ) I really hope theses female cover artists do a really good job catch the eye of young people and get them into the dollar bins looking for the original RED SONJA then we get more fans in the forums ! So looking forward to Vaders friends daughter posting here in 2033 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimebuster Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 What I worry about is the artists or writers can reinvent a corrector (like removing the bikini armor ) I've never been a fan of the bikini armor. It's just so cheesecake. I personally would be much more likely to buy the series and take the character seriously if she were wearing something else. That may be in part because I was first introduced to her during her mid-80's blue shirt phase, I'm not sure. But I prefer her original chainmail shirt to the bikini and I'm sure someone could come up with another design I liked even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
