Owner's Description

1:25 Art Adams cover. The cover has a lot going for it - the idea of Sonja standing on a defeated giant is cool, I'm pretty down with that. The big pouch is cool, but would probably be better if Sonja was looting it already. I like the idea of armor - pauldrons & knee cops aren't much, but they're totally more than just the maille bikini. Even Sonja's sword, her grip on the sword, and even her stance say swordfighter. But the face of Adams' Sonja looks like she was ripped from Elfquest - too soft, terrible facial features, and just generally not fighter material. I don't think it matters what equipment he draws her with or what stance, there's just no way that an Adams' body & face look like anything but a helpless, lost-ass waif that needs to be rescued. Like 1000% not in the spirit of Conan & Sonja.
Overall - well, shit I did buy it off the shelf, so I guess it worked - but I am choosier about my variant covers now than I was 2005
