These are Events I have experienced, yet which never happened. Such a Concept is truly maddening! Am I a Madman, Killer and Soul Thief? Or am I yet the simple Fool I was mere Days ago?

Synopsis for "...Here Dwells the Star Thief!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Warlock #13

In Wildwood Hospital lies young Barry Bauman who was born without any of the five senses. As Warlock decides what to do about the phenomena of the disappearing stars, he realizes that the Soul Gem wants him to investigate further. He finds a world frozen because of the disappearance of its sun. With the help of the Soul Gem, Warlock discovers that just one earthman is responsible for the vanishing stars. Barry Bauman is revealed to be the Star Thief. He wants revenge because nobody cared about his condition and before he turns his attention to Earth he wants to transport all surrounding suns into the endless dimension of his omnipotent brain so that the people know his loneliness before he destroys them.

The Star Thief realizes that there is an interference with his plans and sends his consciousness into space which allows his nurse, Tom Vocson, to regain control over his body. The Star Thief is fascinated by Warlock and feels a kinship, thus, he offers Warlock a challenge; on his way to Earth the Star Thief will only use his corporeal creations to attack Warlock and will not attack him with his mental powers - until he reaches Earth.

Warlock defeats the creatures conjured up by the Star Thief and he knows, that his enemy is actually the invalid Barry Bauman. Star Thief creates a shark which proves to be too powerful for Warlock, he can only defeat it by leading into the path of a comet. After the collision with the comet, the Star Thief thinks Warlock unconscious but Adam tricked him and steals a part of his soul. Star Thief creates a fire giant and takes control of its body; Warlock realizes that this gives the giant a weakness and crushes its brain with a big rock. Star Thief, however, manages to leave the giant's body in time admitting that he underestimated Warlock. Warlock flees and manages to travel through a black hole utilizing Autolycus' navigational skills and the Magus' perceptive powers. Star Thief is angry but he is sure of his victory as Warlock can't kill him without killing everyone on Earth. Tom Vocson is waking up from Star Thief's mental control and is ready to act. Warlock reaches Earth-space and realizes that he is a giant dwarfing every planet in the system. The Star Thief claims that this is because of the expanding universe theory which means the universe constantly expands and Warlock has now proven some sectors expand at a more rapid rate than others. Having been thousands of light years away from Earth he has grown at a quicker pace than Earth. It is later revealed that Sphinxor manipulated the Soul Gem so that Warlock just thinks that he has grown and leaves the area so that the Prime Movers of Tarkus can take Counter-Earth without Warlock's interference; however the Star Thief explains that Warlock can't defeat him because he can't reach Earth without killing everyone on it because of his height.

Tom Vocson is ready to act, he has a gun and wants to kill Bauman, at the same time the Star Thief is ready to destroy Warlock but Adam feels that the Star Thief has lost and is about to die. After Vocson kills Bauman the stars return to their places and Warlock leaves the area saying, that he lost a home.
