Fighting Fantasy: Warlock magazine - Issues 1 - 3

The Warlock magazine was sadly only a 13 issues publication, and ran from 1984 to 1986. In Japan, where the magazine was widened out and turned into a general RPG magazine it ran for longer. The magazine devoted entirely to the Fighting Fantasy genre was published by Penguin as a quarterly Magazine until after issue 6 when it was taken over by Games Workshop, and became a greater success and much more packed magazine, with a growing and developing variety of items related to the FF game.

The magazine was released in the UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand although it must be said can be a little difficult to locate outside the UK. Within Japan the magazine was eventually discontinued in 1997. There have been a few editors including: Steve Jackson, Marc Gascoigne, & Paul Mason. Issue 13 was sadly the last issue.
