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.
