I worry sometimes that I reveal too much about myself on this blog.
I mean, with my recent posts I think we've definitely established that I find women with swords fascinating.
Then again, I suspect I'm not alone.
For all those who really want to see a proper Red Sonja film, and everybody who wishes they'd hurry up and do
that Axa movie that's been in development forever, here's one final batch of book cover amazons.
that Axa movie that's been in development forever, here's one final batch of book cover amazons.
Let's start with everybody's favourite lethal redhead.
Boris Vallejo doing what he does best, although it has to be said, the She-Devil seems to be more of a spectator to events rather than an instigator. For the "Against.." cover I get the impression she's staying out of the way while the big-ass bird and the big-ass serpent settle their beef.
While hunting down these covers I found two great sites.:
A Red Sonja Fansite: https://redsonjashedevilwithasword.blogspot.co.uk/
A Fantasy Review/Discussion Site: https://www.blackgate.com/
Both are worth a look.
This next cover was so good, it got used twice.
I suppose it was highly unlikely that these two books would ever be on sale at the same time.
Jalav was popular enough to get a few sequels.
Holy crap...does that horse have a lizard tail?
No wonder Jalav seems to be struggling to stay on.
Please note the spaceship.
Also that Jalav and her horse-thing are standing atop what looks like a giant cabbage.
Next up, another series that seems to have faced into the mists but not before giving some artists a decent payday
One upon a time you could put bare boobs on a book cover but not on tv.
Now in 2016 you can put nudity on tv but not on book covers.
Does anybody else think that's weird?
Naturally the reissues gave another artist a chance to get some Amazon cheesecake in his resume.
Blatant butt shot. Raven regrets buying her vest from the blacksmith.
Just out of curiosity, who prefers the older artwork to the newer?
I'd like to hear your thoughts.
Yes, I know I suck at getting things line up properly. Deal with it.
Well, that's it for now.
I hope you enjoyed this trek through a bygone era and if anybody out here has actually read any of these, let me know what you thought.
And I'll leave you with an important question:
Put all these ladies in an arena, who's the last one standing?
That's all folks.
