First Published Comic Book Letter!

Just found my first comic letter back in Warlord #37.  I signed it Muffin Thundergrunt, a nickname friends and I made up back in 1979 at Mountain View Camp, the Assemblies of God summercamp in Jacksonville in Deep East Texas. Mike Grell was popular enough to get into a Fred Hembeck comic for his Warlord and Green Arrow work. Warlord was amazing! Fantasy, SciFi, and toughguy! Come on, a gladiator with .44 AutoMag pistols. Here it is with any response.


Dear Folks,
     Ish 31 was absolutely super. The cover was the most fantastic of all. Better than "The Hunter." One gripe. Watch production. My cover was off-centered. Pages 2 and 3 were super. I was impressed especially with the blood on the sword. No drips, which is better.
     A small thing: Thanks so much for putting the subscription coupon on the back of ads.  I do so hate cutting up frames of art for a new subscription.
     Here's my WARLORD MOVIE LIST:
     MORGAN: Charlton Heston; MARIAH: Tina Louicse or Marilyn [sic] Henner; TARA: Buffy St. Marie; MACHISTE: George Foreman & DEIMOS: Leonard Nimoy.

Jack C. Harris responds:

Don't blame our production department for your off-center cover. It was the cutting machine at our printer's and such a happening is rare.  Do you realize how much an off-centered print on a STAMP would be worth?

You all realize that there are no plans in the works for a WARLORD movie, but it's fun to try casting such a project. Who knows? Maybe a producer will pick up an issue of the WARLORD and fget an idea from all of this--JCH
