The Liberators (comic book)
The Liberators was a science fiction comic book series based on concepts created by Dez Skinn and Will Simpson for the British anthology title "Warrior". The series was intended as a far-future continuation of Skinn's proposed shared continuity 'Warrior-verse', established in the "Big Ben" strip which also ran in "Warrior". "The Liberators" was one of the first mainstream continuing strips scripted by Grant Morrison. Plot. The scenario is the British capital of London in 2470. A ragtag group of human misfits with strange powers struggle against an occupying force of malevolent, shape-shifting  alien beings. After a disastrous guerilla assault on one of the invaders' living ships, the protagonists are attacked by the unstoppable Wardroid. Meanwhile, in the ruins of the Houses of Parliament, secrets are unearthed that may be the key to understanding the aliens' true motives. Publication history. "The Liberators" first featured in "Warrior" #22, cover dated September 1984. After an initial 5 page installment, "Death Run", written by Skinn himself and drawn by John Ridgway, the scripting of the series was handed over to Grant Morrison. Morrison's first 5-page installment, "Night Moves", saw publication in "Warrior" 26, the  final issue of the series, cover dated February 1986. A 6-issue "Liberators" title by Morrison and Ridgway was announced by Quality Comics for publication in the American market in 1986, but was never published. In 1996 a previously unpublished Liberators strip by Morrison and Ridgway, "Angels and Demons", was published alongside an expanded reprint of "Night Moves" in the "Warrior" "Spring Special"/"Comics International" #67 flipbook.
