Warlord - Books for boys 1989

WARLORD COMIC BOOK

Warlord was a comic paper published weekly in the United Kingdom between 28 September 1974
and 27 September 1986. It was first published in 1974 by D.C. Thomson.
The comic was dedicated to wartime adventures and was a popular success,
leading IPC Magazines to create a competitor, Battle Picture Weekly, in 1975.
Warlord included several stories per issue, initially centered around a character
called Lord Peter Flint (Codename: Warlord),
a World War II version of popular spy James Bond.
At the end of 1978 Warlord absorbed D. C. Thomson's action comic Bullet.
In total, Warlord ran for twelve years (627 issues), from 1974 until 1986,
at which point it was incorporated into the long-running Victor.
For the next four years after the comic's demise the publishers produced summer specials,
ending in 1991.
