<p>Penciled illustration cover sample of Red Sonja.</p> <p>Red Sonja is a sword-and-sorcery character created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Barry Windsor-Smith for Marvel Comics in 1973, partially inspired by Robert E. Howard's character Red Sonya of Rogatino.<br />Red Sonya of Rogatino is a gun-slinging warrior woman of Polish-Ukrainian origin with a grudge against the Ottoman sultan. She has the eponymous red hair and a fiery temper to match. Howard's Red Sonya had no connection to his Conan the Barbarian character. Roy Thomas and Barry Smith, in Marvel Comics' Conan the Barbarian title, transposed Red Sonya into the Hyborian Age, changing the spelling of her name in the process.</p> <p><span>As originally told, Red Sonja's backstory included her being raped and beaten during the event that killed her family, and her powers were bestowed upon her by the goddess </span><a class="mw-redirect" title="Scathach" href="https://redsonja.fandom.com/wiki/Scathach">Scathach</a><span>. Red Sonja also took a vow of chastity and vowed to never lie with a man who could not defeat her in battle. These elements were changed in Simone's 2013 reboot of the character, removing the sexual violence and giving the character more agency as she hones her skills and hunts down her family's murderers.</span></p> <p>Marvel Comics published stories featuring Red Sonja until 1986, and returned to the character for a one-shot story in 1995. In 2005, Dynamite Entertainment began publishing stories of the heroine, during which the original Sonja was killed and replaced by a "reincarnation". The series was rebooted by writer Gail Simone in 2013, telling an altered version of Red Sonja's early life story via flashbacks.</p>
