Marx discusses her two new creator-owned series: Sisterhood of Steel (a sword-and-sorcery saga about an island society of warrior women, published by Marvel's Epic line, illustrated by Mike Vosburg) and Carlos McLlyr (a "historical fantasy" set in Old California of the 1820s, not a Western, developed with artist-husband Peter Ledger for Eclipse). She traces her path into comics through work for Tom Laughlin and Charles Fries Productions, her first comics work via Roy Thomas at Marvel on Savage Sword of Conan, and her strong views on creator ownership — she won't do work-for-hire. She also discusses the frustration of Red Sonja's chastity-belt origin as the inspiration for creating the Sisterhood, and advocates for stronger female characters and more women readers in comics.
