From the publisher:

As the 1970s dawned, Marvel Comics marched into a new era. An era whose heroes increasingly reflected the turmoil and social unrest of the time. And as Marvel's heroic pantheon evolved, a newly christened hero debuted to herald that new era: Adam Warlock! Mixing super-hero action with equal parts social consciousness and allegory, writer Roy Thomas and artist Gil Kane, in some of the most accomplished work of his career, launched Warlock on a wild ride across the cosmos to Counter-Earth! Hastened by the High Evolutionary to be the savior of this parallel planet, Warlock, armed for the first time with his soul gem, must do battle with the evil Man-Beast for the very planet itself! Featuring guest-appearances by Dr. Doom, Reed Richards and Incredible Hulk, this volume of never-before-collected stories is one you won't want to miss, and you can bet your pet rock on that!

This is the Special Collector's Edition of this Masterworks volume with a variant/classic format dustjacket--featuring the original marble-look style, embossed foil picture frame, and retaining the absolute chronological numbering. The limitation/print run is based upon the initial Diamond Comics order.
