Warlord #451, May 14 1983
Not, mind you, the American "Warlord", in which an US Air Force pilot lands in the Hollow Earth of Skartaris, but the British comic weekly series. War comics were big in the early 1980s in England, at least partially because the Falklands War had gone so well, improving the image of the UK armed forces in the eyes of the public. Of course, "war" is a loose subject, so you still got a variety of stories in any given comic.

This is the May 14th 1983 issue; the one-third rule has been adhered to as much as possible.

( For one thing, Travis Morgan has better hair )

( Codename: Warlord behind the Red Curtain )

( We will have gladitorial combat in the future )

( A cold sniper indeed )

( Let's not nitpick the historical accuracy of this one too much )

( Where is Hans von Hammer when you need him? )

( Gold fever makes strange alliances )

Next time, a look at Victor, and a demonstration of "Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale".
