Showcase Presents: Warlord #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis massive black-and-white volume collects the earliest adventures of Travis Morgan, a modern-day pilot who crash-lands in the lost subterranean world of Skartaris, where he becomes the sword-wielding hero known as the Warlord. Reprinting the character's debut in 1st Issue Special #8 and the first twenty issues of his original 1970s series, this edition showcases the pulp-inspired fantasy and action that made Mike Grell's creation a cult favorite. As part of DC's Showcase Presents line, it offers an affordable, complete run of the Warlord's formative tales in a compact phone-book format.
In "War Gods of Skartaris," Travis presses on through the wilds of Skartaris, his search for Tara now tinged with something deeper than duty—adventure itself begins to call. As he battles the Lizardmen of Metaxa, he discovers their strange devotion to his forgotten home, a connection that blurs the line between warrior and legend.
In "Duel of the Titans," Warlord faces off against the formidable Deimos in a clash of strength and will, as the enigmatic sorcerer steps boldly into the spotlight to challenge the warrior’s dominance. The battle unfolds with escalating tension, setting the stage for a conflict that will echo beyond this moment.
In "Terminator," Jo and the warrior Morgan pursue the elusive Joshua through a realm torn by war and sorcery, their journey culminating in a shocking confrontation where Morgan kills a duplicate of Joshua—unaware that the real Joshua has already been taken to safety. The story ends with the fall of Deimos, leaving the fate of the true Joshua and the consequences of the quest unresolved.
