I know Thanos adopted Gamora, but it is still wild to see him do such a dad thing as "Ah! You got me!... haha jk jk..."

December 1977. Given how much Marvel has since pushed Adam Warlock, Thanos, and the Infinity Gems, it's somewhat ironic that Jim Starlin's original Warlock series was rather ignominiously canceled before the story was complete, leaving the conclusion to play out in THE AVENGERS Annual #7 and MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE Annual #2 in the fall of 1977, both magnificently illustrated by Starlin and Joe Rubinstein. Continuing the story into the latter Annual required Starlin to frame his finale as, improbably, a Thing/Spider-Man team-up, but it's Mar-Vell (whose series Starlin had also written and drawn for a while) who delivers the full-page eulogy for Adam Warlock, a minor Kirby character whom Roy Thomas and Starlin had transformed into a tortured cosmic figure, driven by truly existential angst.
Given that Thanos' plot in this story had involved using the combined power of the six Infinity Gems (here still called "Soul Gems") to blow "every star out of the heavens," leaving Adam's vampiric Soul Gem just lying on his grave seems a trifle irresponsible, but at this juncture, Warlock is dead, Thanos has been reduced to a literal monument to his own folly, and none of the survivors understands the full power of the gems. Also, they don't know that the souls of Adam Warlock, Gamora, and Pip the Troll, taken by the Gem before their deaths, now reside in the idyllic landscape of Soul World.
Starlin would subsequently write the end of Mar-Vell in the memorable THE DEATH OF CAPTAIN MARVEL graphic novel in 1982, which returned Thanos as a kind of psychopomp. Alas, Thanos subsequently became too commercially important a villain (in the comics and later in the dreary live-action movies) to ever stay dead or truly learn from his mistakes.

December 2019. Jim Starlin's final Warlock/Thanos story, THANOS: THE INFINITY ENDING, gives a glimpse of Thanos as a teenager.
What's happening here is that Thanos' brother Eros (Starfox) has had the brainstorm that Thanos might be less nihilistic if he'd had a stronger sense of human connection growing up, so Eros and Pip the Troll, using a time travel device stolen from Kang the Conqueror, start appearing at earlier points in Thanos' life to deliver messages of love and compassion. Pip is skeptical ("You're going to rile your brother back into relative sanity? Good luck with that!"), and for good reason — Eros may commit fewer cosmic genocides than Thanos does, but empathy and compassion are not his strong suits either. (In outlining his plan, Eros remarks, "Even I have a couple of people I care for, sort of.") So, this goes precisely as well as you'd expect:
These final Thanos graphic novels by Starlin, published between 2014 and 2019, are a good time IF you can deduce their correct order. (They comprise two trilogies, all with very similar titles and similar covers, and the way the individual volumes are packaged doesn't do a great job of telling you how each relates to the others.)
