Marvel Premiere #2

From 1972, this Marvel Premiere spotlight puts Warlock front and center in a breathtaking Gil Kane and Joe Sinnott cover — the golden-skinned hero surges forward, energy crackling from his fists as he faces down a winged, wolf-like beast ridden by a menacing fur-clad figure, with a small group of bystanders watching anxiously from the rocky ground below. Roy Thomas scripts "The Hounds of Helios!" with Kane on interior art, promising the kind of cosmic action that made this era of Marvel storytelling so memorable. At just 20 cents, this is early-'70s Marvel doing what it did best — bold, mythic adventure with a hero unlike any other.
