Publication History
Redfox herself first appeared in Dragonlords fanzine. Fox, the comic's artist and creator, used the strip to comment on barbarian fashion-sense in fantasy games, and later expanded his heroine's story into a three-issue Redfox fanzine.
The fanzine stories were revised and redrawn to form the early issues of a bimonthly US-format black & white comic, which were reprinted in the two Book of Redfox graphic novel compilations. Harrier Comics published the first ten issues in the UK. Valkyrie Press was then established solely to publish Redfox, but later took on Bryan Talbot's comic The Adventures of Luther Arkwright. After a further ten issues, publication ceased. An 8-page "origin of sorts", written by Martin Lock and drawn by Fox, was published in Swiftsure #9 (July 1986), another Harrier Comics title.
Redfox #7 (January 1987) had a specially painted cover by John Bolton. A number of the top UK professional comics artists gave their support to Harrier Comics by contributing covers in this way.

Famous quotes containing the words publication and/or history:
“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“Anything in history or nature that can be described as changing steadily can be seen as heading toward catastrophe.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
