Red Sonja #8 (Marvel Comics)
Roy Tomas & Clara Noto (w) Frank Thorne (a)
The classic Marvel series didn't last long but had it's moments and this issue (part of a continuing story) sees our heroine dangling at the end of a rope being taunted by the followers of Oryx, a son of the King of Skranos. Defiant to the end she kicks away any mere man that dares to touch her.
As the order is given to pull the rope a man called Sumaro flings himself to her rescue and away the pair flee to his camp where Sonja discovers that her rescuer is another son of the same King and has his own army.
However Sonja is still suspicious and nearly gets killed by the spirit of Sumaro's mother but by good fortune survives only to immediately get into conflict over the treatment of the women in his Harem. Challenged by General Jimodo the inevitable sword fight takes place which of course our heroine wins as she buries the blustering fool into the belly of a giant beast.
Her next step? Take his place of course! To be continued....
