The Warlord is a sword and sorcery comic book published by DC Comics. The series and titular character debuted in 1st Issue Special #8 (November 1975), and was created by Mike Grell. The comic's main character, Travis Morgan, obtains the name of "The Warlord" as he fights for the freedom of the people of Skartaris. Publication History:
DC debuted The Warlord title with the Jan./Feb. 1976 issue, but it went on an eight-month hiatus following issue #2, picking up again in Oct./Nov. 1976. The title lasted 133 issues until Winter 1988. Creator Mike Grell wrote and drew the comic for six years, handing over the art chores after issue #59 (July 1982); he continued writing the comic through issue #71 (July 1983).

Arion, another DC Comics sword & sorcery title, began as a six-page backup feature in The Warlord. Another backup feature was The Barren Earth which was concluded in a four-issue limited series after a lengthy run in The Warlord. A continuation of Jack Kirby's OMAC series, by Jim Starlin, was featured as a backup for several issues (#37-39 and 42-47) as well. Arak, Son of Thunder, created by Roy Thomas and Ernie Coln, first appeared in a special insert in The Warlord #48 (August 1981). A Bonus Book in issue #131 (September 1988) featured artist Rob Liefeld's first work for DC.Featured Video:
