1st Issue Special #8

DC's 1975 showcase series opens its doors to Skartaris with this Mike Grell-covered introduction to The Warlord — a sword-and-sorcery hero battling for survival in a prehistoric lost world. The cover, rendered entirely by Grell, pulls you straight into the action: a blond, skull-belted warrior grapples hand-to-claw with a massive bipedal dinosaur while a fierce, sword-wielding woman leaps in from the trees to join the fray, all framed by dense jungle foliage. It's a vivid, kinetic scene that makes a convincing case for why this particular lost world deserves your full attention.
