Red Sonja is a fictional character, a sword-and-sorcery comic book heroine created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Barry Windsor-Smith for Marvel Comics in 1973, partially based on Robert E. Howard's characters Red Sonya of Rogatino and Dark Agnes de Chastillon.
In Marvel's comics she originates from Hyrkania, during the Hyborian Age period, and is a contemporary of Conan the Barbarian - like Conan she has a dark backstory, involving her rape, and the murder of her family - a prayer to Scáthach gave her the fighting skills enabling her to revenge herself.
From 2005 the series was published by Dynamite Entertainment - in issue #34 the original Sonja was killed off, and replaced by a 'reincarnation'.The series was rebooted by Gail Simone in 2013, telling an altered version of her early life story via flashbacks.In 2017 Amy Chu began writing the series.
Red Sonja has appeared in numerous editions both solo, and together with Conan, as well as in some Marvel comics crossovers.A novelization was published in the 1980s written by David C. Smith and Richard L. Tierney, and in 1985 a feature film Red Sonja starring Brigitte Nielsen in the title role was released.There have also been television and animated adaption.
Sonja is well known for her bikini armor, consisting typically of scale mail covering only her waist and breasts, with much unprotected exposed flesh.
