Thorne is, in my opinion, the Red Sonja artist. Taking the look from "Marvel Feature presents..." #1, he gave Red Sonja a very sensual look, and fiery appearance. Thorne left Marvel before the end of "Red Sonja: She-Devil with a Sword" to pursue comics for mature audiences. His new heroine "Ghita of Alizarr" at first appears to be a clone of Red Sonja, but is hardly the same outside of their sword arms. Thorne also produced the highly controversial "Iron Devil", the futuristic "Lann" and the humorous "Moonshine McJuggs". For more on Ghita of Alizarr, go to the Ghita section here.
