Conan's Complex Relationship with Red Sonja.

Greetings True Believers! I love the old Savage Sword of Conan magazines. Colonel Green's previous post has inspired me to do some Conan posts. This is from SSoC #73. I have always liked this story because it shows several views of what's happening. Enjoy!











































I think it's an interesting story and good art. Also RS is wearing clothes that slightly cover her! Shocking!

Look for Conan in the new romantic comedy, What Wenches Want.

Motto on the sword bit. Her style should be more "stick and move." Especially with an opponent like Conan. She's always drawn as tall and strong but blocking the sword-swing of a man who can break the necks of bulls with his bare hands? I don't think so.

Sonja can defeat the barbarian but no one beats Conan in a head-on smash.

Yeah, Howard's Conan was pretty much n unbeatabler force of nature. That was from Howard's philosophy about civilization making people weak. But I could still see Sonja defeating him with quick thinking and misdirection. She wouldn't play his game, she'd play her own.
