She first appeared in Conan the Barbarian #23 (Marvel Comics) in 1973. Red Sonja has become the archetypical example of the fantasy figure of a fierce and stunningly beautiful female barbarian.

  1. Who the heck actually owns the Red Sonja property? I know Red Sonja Inc. or some-such is the holding company, but who’s behind it? Google seems to have no idea. Anyone else?
