Warlock 5 Book One

A single-issue debut from Aircel Publishing in 1988, Warlock 5 Book One launched a series that would continue intermittently for decades. The premise follows a team of five genetically engineered super-soldiers, each wielding unique powers, as they navigate a future Earth ravaged by war and corporate tyranny. While the creative team is not specified in available records, this opening chapter establishes the gritty, science-fictional tone and sprawling conflict that would define the series' long, sporadic run. It matters as a cult artifact of the late-80s independent comics boom, offering a dark, post-apocalyptic take on the superhero team concept.
