Celebrating Artist Jim Starlin

Celebrating the birthday of writer/artist Jim Starlin (October 9, 1949) with a special edition...of Warlock, that is.

Adam Warlock was a character that started as "Him" in the Fantastic Four and Thor, finding his way to his own series, with adventures on a Counter-Earth...at least for a bit.  Then, Jim Starlin worked on Warlock in Strange Tales and soon a revival series, making Warlock a little more cosmic, introducing allies such as Pip the Troll and Gamora, as well as facing foes like the Magus, Thanos, the In-Betweener, the Gardner, the Stranger...and cancellation.  This epic wrapped up (after a detour to Marvel Team-Up) in Avengers Annual and Marvel Two-In-One Annual in the 1970s.

In the 1980s, Marvel, cashing in on the high quality Baxter reprints, reprinted this saga, but with the wraparound covers. as seen below!
