Thanksgiving Turkey RED SONJA "Into the Realm of Darkness" Part 3

We Have Already Seen...

...well, this exclusive to the regular comics adaption splash page recaps the story better than I would've.

So lets jump into the action...

Trivia: Though set in the same mythical era, the Hyborian Age, as the Conan films, there are no references to Conan or any of the other characters or places from those two films...or that Kalidor is a dead ringer for Conan!

The Action Concludes Tomorrow at...

Secret Sanctum of Captain Video!

Thanksgiving Turkey RED SONJA "Into the Realm of Darkness" Part 1

Here's the turkey for your Thanksgiving...

...a never-reprinted Red Sonja adventure featuring her origin based on the almost-universally derided feature film from the producers who gave us the Schwarzenegger Conan movies!

Writer Louise Simonson, penciler Mary Wilshire, and inker Vince Colletta do their best to salvage the script by Clive Exton and George MacDonald Fraser, both of whom had high-profile genre TV and movie scripting credits, but just couldn't pull this mess of a screenplay together!

The Action Continues Friday at...
Secret Sanctum of Captain Video!

The Thanksgiving Turkey Cometh...

...and, hoo boy, is it cheesy!

In fact, it's so full of cheese that it takes two RetroBlogs to present it in all its' "glory"!

The action starts here on Thanksgiving, continues to Secret Sanctum of Captain Video on Black Friday, returns here on Saturday, and concludes back at the Secret Sanctum on Sunday!

PEP COMICS "Madam Satan: Who She Is and How She Came to Be!"

Recently, Archie Comics introduced long-forgotten Golden Age villainess Madam Satan...

...into their dark, serious reboot of Sabrina: the Teen-Age Witch!

When the "Smalvillized" Archie TV series, Riverdale, became a hit, a Sabrina show was put into production with Michelle Gomez (The Mistress/Missy from Doctor Who) as Madam Satan!

Intended to be a companion show to Riverdale on the CW, there was literally no room in the schedule due to the plethora of DC Comics series currently crowding the network!

So, it's now appearing on NetFlix...where the entire season dropped this past Friday night!

Here's the character's never-reprinted premiere and origin story from MLJ's Pep Comics #16 (1941)!

Now, this is quite different from the story Madam Satan herself tells in the Season 1 finale, but it's worth knowing so you can see how much the character was altered in the revival.
Written by Pep Comics' Editor Abner Sundell, and illustrated by longtime MLJ/Archie artist Harry Lucey who adapted his style to the Bob Montana/Dan deCarlo look that became the Archie "house style" and kept working for Archie until was forced to retire due to multiple sclerosis in 1976.

BTW, though she debuted in Pep Comics #16, Madam Satan actually cameoed on the cover of the previous issue...
