Greetings from Skartaris: "The Hunter" by Mike Grell

Greetings from Skartaris, Groove-ophiles! We're back with another "Iron" Mike Grell masterpiece, this one a spin on "The Most Dangerous Game" from Warlord #13 (March 1978). Travis Morgan and his friends Machiste and Mariah must face..."The Hunter"! Can you dig it?

    Yeah I still have this one tucked away safely. Great issue from Mike Grell, this story should have been called 'wrath of Stryker'!

    For easy navigation, here's a link to Groove's post of the next issue, WARLORD 14, cover-dated Sept 1978: http://diversionsofthegroovykind.blogspot.com/2016/02/greetings-from-skartaris-all-men-are.html

    This is the last issue that Grell did both pencils and inks.
    Issue 15 is inked by Joe Rubinstein.
    Issues 16-40, 44 and 48-50 are inked by Vince Colletta.
    Issues 41-43, 45 and 47 are inked by Bob Smith.
    46 is inked by Romeo Tanghal.

    There were a lot of good issues still to come, but for me it was the first 14 issues that Grell poured his heart and soul into, that really made the series.

    Along with Kirby's KAMANDI, THE DEMON, OMAC and Fourth World titles, along with O'Neil/Adams' DETECTIVE and BATMAN issues, along with Wein/Wrightson SWAMP THING, Goodwin/Simonson MANHUNTER, and McGregor/Russell AMAZING ADVENTURES/KILLRAVEN, Grell's WARLORD ranks among my all-time favorites.
