After the fantastic work Grell did in the first 3 Warlord stories, in FIRST ISSUE SPECIAL 8, and Then WARLORD 1 and 2, the series appeared to be cancelled. I was so crushed by that cancellation, and as I've said before, I literally dreamed one night about going into a 7-11 and being thrilled to see issue 3 on the rack.

It was literally a dream come true. And close to a year later, the magic was still there, and Grell had become an even better artist.
I still treasure those first 14 issues, that Grell both pencilled and inked.
