1984 #7 (Warren, August 1979)
Cover by Patrick Woodroffe

Among the various series featured in this issue, Frank Thorne’s *Ghita of Alizarr* stands out. The resemblance to Roy Thomas’s Red Sonja is striking: A warrior who survived being a woman in a barbaric world and became the greatest swordswoman of her time. That time, around 10,000 BC, is right where the Hyborian Age is set—the home of Conan and Sonja. (+)

In 1976, Frank Thorne worked with Roy Thomas on Red Sonja for Marvel, which brought him considerable fame among fans.

Tired of the censorship that limited creativity at Marvel under the Comics Code, Thorne created his own warrior, Ghita, whose first appearance occurred in this 1984 issue of Warren’s fiction and fantasy magazine, which, above all, did not adhere to the Comics Code. (+)
