''Warheads'' was a Marvel UK comic book series which ran for 14 issues in the early 1990s (January 1992 - May 1993) and was followed by the two-issue mini-series ''Warheads: Black Dawn''. The stories contained in the comic were also serialised in the UK comics anthology ''Overkill''. The Warheads were mercenaries employed by the nefarious and Faustian Mys-Tech organisation to capture advanced technology or mystical artifacts from alien worlds, time periods or other dimensions. The book had guest appearances, such as the X-Men, Silver Surfer, Mephisto, X-Force and agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. It features many backup 'flashback' stories. ==Publication history== Paul Neary was instrumental in creating the whole Mys-Tech concept for Marvel UK, including the original Warheads outline. The characters in ''Warheads'' were first visualised by artist Gary Erskine with the first scripts for the strips provided by Nick Vince, followed by John Freeman and Craig Houston, who is now a computer games script writer whose credits include ''Call of Duty 3''. Unlike most of the other Marvel UK titles tied into the Mys-Tech concept, the Warheads were not enemies of Mys-Tech - instead, they were portrayed as expendable soldiers employed by a callous corporation. They did, eventually, turn against Mys-Tech, having had enough. Other ''Warheads'' artists included Simon Coleby, Dave Taylor, Stuart Jennett and Charlie Adlard. Mark Harrison painted an unpublished spin-off, called Loose Cannons, available online,〔(Loose Cannons )〕 about the all-female Virago Troop (Holly, Elan, Nix (who is killed and replaced with the genetically enhanced Lamia, a creation of Dr. Oonagh Mullarkey), team psychic Syster Sphynx, and team leader Bodecia "Bo" Kildare) and provided ''Warheads'' several covers for ''Overkill''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Warheads (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
