DC Comics published a comic book called The Warlord from 1976 - 1989.

Teaser

In the savage world of Skartaris,
life is a constant struggle for survival.
Here, beneath an unblinking orb of eternal
sunlight, one simple law prevails:
If you let down your guard for an instant you will soon be very dead.

Synopsis

Vietnam veteran pilot Travis Morgan, the title character, passes through a dimensional barrier to the underground sword and sorcery world of Skartaris, in a move strongly reminiscent of Edgar Rice Burroughs's Barsoom. Mike Grell created the character.

The book was DC's answer to Marvel Comics's popular Conan the Barbarian title. Arion was a spinoff of Warlord.

In 1992, DC published a six-part mini-series, entitled Ballad.
