Description

⚔️ The She-Devil with a Sword in blood-soaked glory — Anna Zhuo’s Unknown Comics exclusive bloody virgin for Red Sonja #3 (2023), the NYCC fall convention exclusive that puts Dynamite’s iconic fantasy warrior in her most dramatic format. Red Sonja — Sonja of Hyrkania, the flame-haired warrior created by Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith in 1973 as a composite of characters from Robert E. Howard’s Conan stories — is one of fantasy comics’ most enduring and visually iconic characters, her chain mail bikini armor, her flaming red hair, and her sword arm that has never been defeated defining an archetype that has influenced fantasy art and storytelling for fifty years. The “bloody” virgin format adds a dramatic blood-spatter treatment to Zhuo’s cover composition — a visual effect that leans into the brutal, uncompromising side of Sonja’s warrior identity and creates a cover that is immediately distinct from the standard presentation. The virgin format removes all trade dress to give Zhuo’s composition its fullest presentation, the bloody treatment making this the most viscerally impactful version of this NYCC exclusive. Anna Zhuo brings an extraordinary artistic sensibility to Red Sonja — her ability to capture both the fierce power and the humanity of Sonja’s character making her a natural fit for the She-Devil with a Sword.

This is the Red Sonja #3 Anna Zhuo Exclusive NYCC 2023 Bloody Virgin Variant — the Unknown Comics bloody treatment exclusive, trade-dress-free, for the fall 2023 New York Comic Con.
