Dagger envy

When Red Sonja first appeared in comics she looked like this.


















Then Esteban Moroto whipped up this little illustration.





















Which Howard Chaykin transformed into this.




















Other possible titles that occured to me for this entry included Is that a dagger strapped to your thigh or are you just pleased to see me?

Some time later they revamped this story. It's exactly the same story with the same pictures, but redrawn without the penis scabbard.
