Greetings from Skartaris: "The City in the Sky!" by Mike Grell

Well, Groove-ophiles, when Ol' Groove flubs his dub, he flubs it big time! Last Greetings from Skartaris, we rapped about Warlord #9...the time before that, Warlord #7. SeewhatImean? I slap-down skipped ish #8 (May 1977), and it's a doozy of a tale, too! Mike Grell's "The City in the Sky!" is one of the most science-fiction-leaning issues of Warlord you'd ever wanna read, and Grell's art is sah-mokin'! So without further ado (and with no more misteakes i hop), here's the missing link between Warlord issues seven and nine!

















Hey, at least my boo-boo give you an idea of what it was like trying to keep up with a series during the hodge-podge shipping Twilight Zone-y days of the Groovy Age!
