Mike Grell's Warlord

I’m a comic book geek fan and have been since before I learned to read. In the 1970s Mike Grell created the title Warlord for DC. Warlord was the story of an Air Force pilot whose plane goes down over the North Pole and ends up in a land inside the Earth’s core. It’s basically a sword and sorcery comic but the lead does have a .44 Automag. I loved it. Grell eventually left to do Sable Freelance, another fine adventure comic, but I missed Warlord. Since its cancellation, there has been a mini-series written by Grell that didn’t quite work and a botched attempt to re-imagine the series. Now DC has brought the series back again this time with Grell writing it and doing the covers. The interior art is by Joe Prado, and the whole thing works. Some memories are best left in the past. You go back to revisit and the book, movie, TV series and it just doesn’t match that which you remember. Warlord is good. It’s not the original but it has potential. I’m looking forward to the next issue.

And if you are a Sable Freelance fan go check this out. It's amazing what you find when you surf the net.
