Red Sonja returns to the 1980s for new one-shot comic Red Sonja 1982

March 29, 2021 by Gary Collinson

Fan favourite Red Sonja writer Amy Chu is returning for a brand new adventure with the She-Devil with a Sword in Dynamite Entertainment’s upcoming one-shot comic Red Sonja 1982, hitting comic book stores this June.

“1982 was a special year. I mean it was the year of E.T., TRON, Magnum PI, Hill Street Blues. MTV was brand new and exciting. The Commodore 64 and Apple II ruled. There was no internet,” said writer Amy Chu. “If you thought my last run was wild, well… I love the fact that [artist] Eric didn’t blink an eye when I explained what was going on. It does get pretty crazy, but there’s a method behind the madness. I hope you have as much fun reading it as I had writing it.”

“I’m loving working on this project with Amy, Red Sonja is such a great character,” added artist Eric Blake. “It’s a pleasure to be part of the team and I’d like to thank Dynamite for assembling us for this super fun story that I hope fans will love!”

40 years ago, Red Sonja once found herself mysteriously transported to the then-present, tangling with one red and blue wall-crawler and her immortal enemy Kulan Gath. Writer Amy Chu’s beloved ongoing run on Red Sonja kicked off in 2016 with a similar premise, taking the fiery-haired heroine to the constantly-under-construction bustling NYC of today. She also found herself out of time in Amy’s fun-filled crossover with Riverdale’s finest, Betty and Veronica. In this new special story, Sonja finds herself once again in more modern times in the City of Angels. Red Sonja goes to Hollywood!

This time she’s up against a mysterious killer android tracking her through time. In the midst of the excesses of Los Angeles of the era, Sonja recruits a rag tag team for her mission. A bouncer, a drag queen, and a disco roller skating martial artist will help her slay her enemies all across the city. Could Kulan Gath be involved again this time?

Red Sonja 1982 will go on sale in June 2021.
