Warhammer Monthly

<h2 id="format">Format</h2>
<p>The comic used an anthology format, usually featuring three or four stories each of seven to eight pages in length. The stories in <i>Warhammer Monthly</i> were usually serialised, and would run for several months. The most popular stories returned for more series, and were often collected in <a href="/facts/Trade_paperback_(comics)/6Ag6b5tK">trade paperback</a> form.
</p><p>The December 2002 issue of the <a href="/facts/Comic_book/xGFkPrMT">comic book</a> was called <i>Warhammer Warped Visions</i>. It featured one-shot variations of Black Library's most popular comics, but with their settings reversed between the <i>Warhammer</i> and <i>Warhammer 40,000</i> universes. For example, the Dark Elf Malus Darkblade was portrayed as a female Dark Eldar named Maless, while the Titan Imperius Dictatio was shown as an Empire Steam Tank.
