Owner's Description
1:1 ratio cover by Art Adams. Art has done a number of Red Sonja covers over the years, even going back to some issues of Conan the Barbarian by Marvel Comics - but - this cover homage of Red Sonja Vol 1 #5 originally by Frank Thorne might be the best one. And part of that is due to Art's respect for the original composition and details - right down to the pattern in the floor, although the loss of the tongue around Sonja's midsection is a thing of sadness.
Sonja's stance on this edge is better in Art's composition, with both knees bent and her shoulders more balanced - it makes her look like a better swordswoman - but it does take away some of the peril inherent in Frank's image. That combined with the fact that Frank's dragon tongue looks elastic - like they're trying to pull Sonja to her doom, make Frank's image more action packed.
Art's incredibly detailed two-headed dragon, looks more real.
Overall - I love it and I think it is a great take on the original. I would have bought this issue from my LCS based on this cover alone.
