Angelica Bridges also played Red Sonja.

[edit] Conan and Sonja

It says she would never bed another man unless he defeated her in combat. I can't imagine she'd have a chance against him in fair combat, he'd be so much stronger. So did that happen, and did Conan land her?

Anyone else ever read novelist/comic book writer Peter David's analysis of Red Sonja's famous oath to never have sex unless its with a man who defeats her? He likens it to saying "I will never have sex unless its with a man who can recreate the circumstances of my rape, during which I was helpless before a physically superior man" and that a kind, caring man (David actually uses the phrase "the kind of man who could help heal her fractured psyche and give her back a normal life") is thus never even in the running.
He also suggested that Red Sonja needs some seriously deep psychological counseling.

[edit] Variant covers

I removed the variant covers for the following reasons: A) They're all covers of #1, but add nothing. Therefore, the primary version is more easily justifiable. B) They clutter the page, making for uncomfortable formatting and aesthetics. C) It's hardly justifiable as fair use, considering they all depict the same character. --Kusonaga 10:39, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] hmm?

Much of this entry (take a look at the 'parody' for example) seems to be lifted from here: http://www.redsonja.net/htmlfiles/history.html . Or was it the other way around..?

[edit] Celtic legend

Apparently this character was based on the Celtic legend Ifay (sp?), can anyone confirm this? Chris 18:43, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
