Continues from Marvel Premier issue 2. Adam Warlock stars in his first own ongoing series. The series lasted until issue 8, after which it was on a hiatus for 2 years. After that, the series resumed with issue 9 (hence that issue 9 says it's a "premier issue") and lasted until issue 15. Issue #9 is the first issue after the reviving of the series and was the continued story from Strange Tales #181.
Although a short series, it has been critically acclaimed for the ground breaking work Jim Starlin did in these comics.
