This is the fourteenth installment in our Red Sonja themed cover galleries, continuing from the first gallery. Below, we present ten selected covers from various comic books, which feature Red Sonja as either the archer or the target.

• title: Conan the King (1980)
• publisher: Marvel
• cover artist: Mary Wilshire
• writer: Alan Zelenetz
• artists: Marc Silvestri and Geof Isherwood
• issue: #28 of 55
• cover: A cover
• release date: May, 1985
• commentary: Red Sonja's skill was primarily with the sword. She competently wielded a battle axe or a flail as necessary. Infrequently she was called to abandon a melee weapon in favor of a bow, a skill she apparently picked up as a hunter on the Hyrkanian plains. To our knowledge, Red Sonja appears in only one issue, #28, of the 55-issue series, Conan the King. This cover is drawn by Mary Wilshire. Curiously, the shaft of the arrow appears at a perpendicular angle to the bow.
  
  As an addendum, there are a couple other galleries that have examples of notable Red Sonja covers with the theme of archery, including
  • Cosplay: #13
  • Chatzoudis: #9

• artist: Walter Geovani
• issue: #44 of 80

• title: Red Sonja: She-Devil with a Sword (2005)

• issue: #47 of 80

• commentary: It is not uncommon for comic book artists to intentionally recall scenes from other artists or even other characters, as a kind of homage. This cover by Mel Rubi recalls the scene in Moria from the film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, in which Legolas leaps atop a cave troll and delivers a killing blow from close range.

• writer: Eric Trautmann
• artist: Noah Salonga
• issue: #58 of 80
• release date: November, 2011

• commentary: More often than not, rather than being behind the bow, Red Sonja is the subject of the archer, as in this cover by Walter Geovani, in which she adeptly dashes aside several well-placed arrows in the barrage.

• title: Queen Sonja (2009)
• publisher: Dynamite
• cover artist: Lucio Parrillo
• writer: Luke Lieberman
• artist: Fritz Casas
• issue: #24 of 35

• writer: Mark Russell

• issue: #2 of 28
• release date: March, 2019
• cover: A cover
• commentary: Heedless to this barrage of arrows, Red Sonja prepares to lay waste to those who would shoot at her. Amanda Conner creatively blends the red of the blood moon, the red of Sonja's hair and the red of blood into a continuous mass.

• writer: Mark Russell
• artist: Mirko Colak
• issue: #11 of 28
