Warlock (1st Series)

    (Marvel, 1972-1976)
™ and ©1973 Marvel Entertainment Group

Adam Warlock is one of the more offbeat characters in the Marvel Universe. He was created in a secret research project known as the Hive, and at the time of his first appearance in Fantastic Four #67 was known simply as “Him.” It was not until Marvel Premiere #1 that he received the name that he is known by today.

In this, his first solo series, Adam Warlock acts as protector of the world known as Counter-Earth. That world had been created by the High Evolutionary as a perfect version of our own world. Nevertheless, it was not long before it fell under the heel of a powerful creature known as the Man-Beast. Warlock conquered the Man-Beast in issue #2 of this series, thus becoming a hero to the people of Counter-Earth. This series was a complex allegory of saviors and demons, both religious and political, true and false. Sadly, the title’s writing was not matched by its sales and it was canceled suddenly after issue #8.
