Strange Tales #179 Apr 1975
"Death Ship!"
Warlock is captured by Autolycus of the Black Knights and brought aboard Magus' Flagship;
His fellow prisoners tell Warlock, that survivors of the Wars of the Church are taken as slave laborers.
Those who refuse will be terminated and their remains will be chemically broken down
and valuable elements that can be retrieved will be used to further the cause of the Church;
They also tell him, that Non-Humanoids are not considered fashioned in the Magus' image and thus must be disposed of.
This also holds true for some Humanoid types—such as Trolls.
First appearance of Pip the Troll.
