We take you now to Dok Hendrix--Snip into a Slam Jam!(1) Thanx, Vinnie Mac'! My sources tell me this mag is gonna be drawn by Jim Callahan, from Tekno's Lost Universe, and written by a newcomer to the comics industry, Jimmy Hellwig! Isn't that right, Tod? You bet, Dok! But now here's the scoop folks: the Warrior says right in his ad that Warrior Comics will have nothing to do with the WWF! In fact, he says they're not even about wrestling at all! Wow!
