Greetings from Skartaris: "Holocaust" by Grell and Rubinstein

Dig it, Groove-ophiles! Mike Grell's Warlord is back on the Diversions! We're celebrating the return of Ol' Groove's favorite Groovy Age DC creation with Warlord #15 (July 1978), which is a pretty spectacular issue, lemme tell ya! It's the only 25 page DC Explosion/Implosion ish (due to its then bi-monthly status) and it is glorious! Joe Rubinstein inks this issue with those gorgeous, lush brush-strokes that have made him one of comics' top inkers ever...we get our hero's return to his wife Tara...the first appearance of Travis and Tara's son, Joshua...sci-fi action...and the return of Travis Morgan's greatest foe! Hang on for..."Holocaust!"

Greetings from Skartaris: "All Men Are Mine" by Mike Grell

Greetings, Groove-ophiles! We're headed back to Skartaris with Mike Grell and his savage creations, and boy, is this gonna be one far-out trip (and Ol' Groove does mean "trip")! Mike Grell delves into Jim Starlin territory with Warlord #14 (May 1978) and "All Men Are Mine". I mean, the whole ish is a head-trip with Travis Morgan fighting for his life against Death in the form  of a (usually) beautiful woman. Warlord doesn't go cosmic, but hey, it's knockin' around the edges! And don'tcha just love Grell's experimental layouts this ish? That's Iron Mike feeling his artistic oats, right there! Ol' Groove has said it before and I'll say it again--Mike Grell's experimentation with storytelling in his Warlord run was bound to have had a huge influence on the next generation of comicbook storytellers (the good ones, at least)!

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?
