Unbreakable Red Sonja Is the Perfect Jumping-On Point for Barbarian Hero
For years Dynamite Comics has supplied audiences with a seemingly endless line of Red Sonja titles, and this October, the publisher showcases her in an entirely new light in Unbreakable Red Sonja. Red Sonja was first introduced to the world by writer Roy Thomas and artist Barry Windsor-Smith in 1973 in Marvel's Conan the Barbarian #23.
