This is the twenty-third installment in our Red Sonja themed cover galleries, continuing from the first gallery. Below, we present thirty selected covers from various comic books, featuring male cover artists who have, at least at the date of this compilation, created only a single Red Sonja cover. This gallery is a follow-up to the gallery of feminine hapax legomena.

• episode: "The Sea That Steals!"
• commentary: Dave Simons created a single cover of Red Sonja in the era of the blue tunic. There is a classic feel to this cover, emphasized by the terrified man in the bottom left, howling as if belonged in Edvard Munch's The Scream.

• title: Red Sonja: 3-D (1988)
• publisher: Blackthorne
• cover artists: David Cody Weiss & Adrian Moro
• writers: David Cody Weiss & Bobbi J.G. Weiss

• commentary: David Cody Weiss & Bobbi J.G. Weiss are a husband and wife story-telling team. Their take on Red Sonja in this one-shot from Blackthorne comics is unlike any other. The outfit is particularly unique, combining as it does a silver bikini top and a cheeky red bottom connected to each other by skin-tone mesh fabric, the likes of which you might find in the costume of a figure skating competition.

• title: Red Sonja: Scavenger Hunt (1995)
• publisher: Marvel
• cover artists: The Brothers Hildebrandt
• writer: Glenn Herdling
• artists: Ken Lashley & Harry Candelario
• issue: one-shot
• release date: December, 1995
• cover: A cover
• commentary: Greg and Tim Hildebrandt are responsible for one unusual Red Sonja one-shot from Marvel. Again the outfit is one of a kind. The chain mail bikini top is supported by a single chain leading to a silver neck collar. The chain mail bikini bottom appears to be designed as a thong constructed of a single chain.
