*Marvel: Created by Lee & Kirby as Him in Fantastic Four and Thor, the cosmic-powered entity was revamped as the messianic Warlock by Roy Thomas and Gil Kane in the first two issues of Marvel Premiere, before being launched in his own series based on Counter-Earth, a twin world of ours orbiting forever unobserved on the other side of the Sun, in which Warlock met the tragic iteration of the Fantastic Four, the noble and heroic Victor Von Doom, and other ‘dark mirrors’ of the known Marvel characters. Thomas’ Christian allegories, which culminated in Warlock’s ‘crucifixion’ in Hulk #176-178, meant that the character was retired in the wake of controversy and objections from religious groups – but appropriately, he rose from the dead a few years later, at the hands of Jim Starlin! This complete first series, eight issues (mostly not distributed in the UK) is now back in stock in grades averaging Fine. Full details in our catalogue as always.
