Superhero Hype Cosplay: Red Sonja
Note From the Editor: To close out 2020, Superhero Hype’s cosplay correspondent, Ashlynne Dae, is sharing her take on Red Sonja. Robert E. Howard’s Red Sonya of Rogatino was re-envisioned for Marvel’s Conan the Barbarian comic book in 1973 by Roy Thomas and artist Barry Windsor-Smith. Subsequent artists like Esteban Maroto, John Buscema, and Frank Thorne popularized Red Sonja’s iconic bikini armor. And it’s a look that has stayed with Red Sonja through her current adventures, as published by
Dynamite Entertainment.

I have long had a love affair with Red Sonja. She’s strong, badass and can fight monsters and men all while wearing a bikini made of scales and little else.
