Code Name Warlord Volume 1 – Softcover with Standard Cover Design

Description

Code Name: Warlord Volume 1! Reprinting Issues 1-6 of the long-running U.K. Comic Series, Warlord! First published in 1974 by D.C. Thomson, the comic was dedicated to wartime adventures and was a popular success, leading IPC Magazines to create a competitor, Battle Picture Weekly, in 1975. Warlord included several stories per issue, initially centered on a character called Lord Peter Flint (Codename: Warlord), a World War II version of the popular spy James Bond. In total, Warlord ran for twelve years (627 issues), from 1974 until 1986. Characters and stories included the popular Union Jack Jackson, Spider Wells, Bomber Braddock and Wingless Wonder. Features included True Life War Story and articles on weaponry called Weapons In Action. After Bullet was added to the comic, it featured that publication’s main story Fireball Ñ a secret agent who was Lord Peter Flint’s nephew. The comic would often include free gifts such as replica military badges and plastic model warplanes. By solving a cryptographic puzzle and paying a small fee, a reader could become a “Warlord Secret Agent” with an identity card and code book, allowing him to decipher secret messages printed in the comic each week (a gimmick originally employed in the 1950s radio series Captain Midnight). The Comic Series was 90% B&W and 10% Color. Since thereÕs very little price difference at Lulu between B&W and Standard Color, we are reprinting this series in Standard Color. Softcover Standard Color.
