Description

Thanks to Glen Gold for this page. Here is
Glen's detailed history of the page.

What we have here is page 2 to Warlock 15, the last issue of Starlin's
original series. Courtesy of David Schwartz, I now know a little bit
of its history.

This page was penciled, inked and scripted by Starlin, and I suspect
that had he a staple gun in his basement, he would have printed the
issue himself, too. He was on a roll. This was the issue where
Warlock can't go home to Earth, as his atoms have drifted apart, making
him a phantom. Talk about alienation. In this page, he muses about
not being able to go to Counter Earth because of his new dimension.

Buuuut it wasn't always that way.

The dialogue balloons in the last two tiers are all whited out and
there is new dialogue in them. The original monologue by Warlock
reveals where Jim actually wanted to take the series: Counter Earth
isn't just inaccessible, it's been destroyed. And on this page,
Warlock discovers its remains and mourns the death of his friends
(including the "good" Doctor Doom).

It looks like someone wasn't happy that that direction, and Starlin had
to change everything. Wow. I remember as a kid reading that Warlock
knew, before his death, that he'd be responsible for the deaths of
everyone he ever loved, including the High Evolutionary. And that
didn't happen before his suicide. I always wondered about that hole in
the plot. Here's the answer.

Finding a gem like this from Starlin's peak period is really something special. Thanks for sharing the page and the history.
