It’s a tale of fire, fury, and betrayal as Steeven takes on Conan the Barbarian #24, The Song of Red Sonja, a legendary issue from 1972 that marks Barry Windsor-Smith’s stunning swan song on the series!

Conan’s path crosses with Red Sonja, the fiery warrior whose beauty and cunning are matched only by her skill with a blade. What starts as a brawl in a tavern soon leads to a midnight heist at the palace tower. But betrayal lurks in the shadows, and Conan must confront not only a monstrous serpent conjured by dark magic but also his own foolish hopes of romance. As Sonja proves she’s every bit the schemer, Conan finds himself outmatched—not by the snake, but by her guile.

Steeven dives deep into this iconic issue, exploring its groundbreaking art, Roy Thomas’s playful and innuendo-filled script, and the unforgettable dynamic between the Cimmerian and Sonja. Learn about the behind-the-scenes moments that shaped this issue, from Comics Code controversies to the clever ways Barry Windsor-Smith left his mark on Conan’s world.

Packed with wit, lore, and all the sexy, snake-filled, sword-clashing action you can handle, this episode will leave you shouting, “By Crom!”

Tune in now for a tale that’s as bold and brilliant as Red Sonja herself!

Conan the Barbarian #24: The Song of Red Sonja by Roy Thomas, Barry Windsor Smith, and Artie Simek was published by Marvel Comics in December, 1972.
