The She-Devil with a Sword has become the archetypical example of the fantasy literary figure of a fierce and stunningly beautiful female barbarian.
Howard actually gave her only a passing mention and wrote no stories about her. The character was actually developed in the Conan the Barbarian comic books by Frank Thorne[?] for Marvel Comics. She also appeared in the 1985 film, Red Sonja with Arnold Schwarzenegger as Kalidor (a Conan clone) and Brigitte Nielsen[?] in the title role.
