Red Sonja...
Well. It itches.
Red Sonja #1 (2013)
This scene is played a little bit for laughs, but it also makes a point about what society wants from warrior women once the battle is over.
It’s based partly on Joan of Arc’s sad story.
"Thanks for saving the day! Now can you go back to being the person we want you to be instead of, you know, the person you actually are?"
Or
"Looks like they’re going to kill her. Should we help her out?"
"Nah. We don’t need her anymore and gratitude isn’t a thing I know."
That said, I thought it was sweet of her to comply out of respect for her hosts’ culture. Or was it for the sake of her new fangirls, the Slayers of Very Large and Fierce Lagomorphs?
I would say it’s mostly for the hosts.
But it’s just BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARELY possible that she doesn’t mind a fancy gown.
Once a year, maybe.
For an hour or so.
With her hair done fancy.
But you’d better not TELL anyone.
do you have a favorite red sonja cover? i loved the first issue btw thank you so much for that
I could never say because I wouldn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, but the ABSOLUTE TRUTH is I can’t choose anyway. Amanda, Colleen, Fiona, Nicola, Jenny, Stephanie, Agnes, it’s just impossible to pick for me.
Hi Gail! I never picked up a Red Sonja book because the outfit and cover never made me interested in the character, I thought it looked a little silly to fight in (I'm so sorry!). But I love your work and with all you've been posting it makes me really wan
Don’t be afraid to try stuff, is my advice. :)

Gail! Do you know if you're going to any England-based conventions this year or next or ever? ^^
This year, the closest things are in Cardiff, Dublin, and Norway. Sorry!
