Artwork Details

DescriptionMike Grell was born to draw The Warlord and Warlord #29 is one of the best covers of the run. This classic image was also used on DC house ads and licensed merchandise. I'm absolutely thrilled to add this to my collection. It’s a powerful, picture-perfect Warlord for the story "Return of the Gladiator", published January 1980, DC Comics.Social/Sharing |

The best cover of the series Dino. And as good a cover as Grell ever did - and he did a lot of great ones. Congrats!

Has to be not only the definitive Warlord cover but a very iconic cover of this period in comics. Bravo!

He's even wearing a helmet with feathers to resemble a FALCON.

One of my all-time favorite Warlord images (and that's saying a lot!)
So glad you scored this Dino!

I don't know, perhaps THE Warlord cover? I mean, I'm sure everyone has their own favorite. But if you could only have one, this is certainly a choice you could live with for a lifetime. Congrats Dino!

Excellent example of Mike Grell artwork, terrific cover layout and a great nostalgia piece with the DC cover dress of the time.
Very nice.

The first ten issues of Warlord are my favourites, as they were all wall books at my first comic shop I discovered in 1982 and so vividly remember how gorgeous they all looked as they hung there in their extra shiny mylite bags! But after issue #10, there are a few really killer covers interspersed throughout the run which also make the top of the list of KILLER covers, this being one of those!
Kind of awesome.
Inert protective sleeve it should be placed in, like Mylar.

Rubén should have it gifted to him.

If you like Grell and/or Warlord (not necessarily in that order ,), it doesn't get better than this.

Outstanding! I remember this well. I had a ball hanging out with Grell at Heroes watching him draw commissions of Warlord and other characters he's known for --- he is still a fantastic draftsman

One of my favorite books of that era, original and fun to read with iconic images by Mike Grell. This cover exemplifies the skill and love Mike had for this character.

Congrats on this ultra-classic Warlord cover that represents Travis Morgan the hero and Mike Grell the artist at their best!

This is THE image for Warlord and what immediately comes to mind when I hear the character's name. Congrats on another epic addition Dino - the hit train continues to roll - thanks for sharing!
