In the seventies, Red Sonja writer Frank Thorne and Wendy Pini used to perform a show, “Red Sonja and the Wizard,” at comic conferences. No record of these legendary shows were thought to have survived, however—until this film, shot by an audience member at 1978’s San Diego Comic Con, surfaced on YouTube.
“Recovering this is, for us, the equivalent to Robert Ballard’s locating the Titanic,” says Pini. “The quality is, alas, 1978-era Super-8 film taken under difficult conditions – but it EXISTS!”
