There's a couple of things to add to your comments:

> Elrod the albino- parody of Elric of Melbourne by Micheal Moorhead...

That's Elric of Melnibone' by Michael Moorcock.
 
> [Adam] Weishaupt...

It should be noted that the source for this character is a real person,
the founder of the Bavarian Illuminati in the late 1700's. It is said
(though I don't know how true it is) that the real Weishaupt was a
double for George Washington --- which is why Sim drew him as he did ---
and in Shea & Wilson's novels about the Illuminati, they "claim" that
for at least part of Washington's presidency, it was actually Weishaupt
that ran our country and not Washington.

Not nowadays. ("I can't tell you. They're *secret* Sacred Wars.")

> henrot the magician - father of red sophia...

Henrot is a characiture of Frank Thorne, former principal artist on the
Red Sonja strip. Thorne used to appear at conventions as Henrot (an anagram
of Thorne) with Wendy Pini as Sonja.
