Control-Click to enlarge!

...after battling their way through multiple universes too hostile for the population of a devasted Earth to migrate to, the crew seems to have found both an ideal planet to colonize and an ideal, peaceful, interstellar community to bond and work with...

Interesting how the aliens' strategy matches the gameplay of the video game Galaxian?

Note: the Dark Destroyer is not in the video game!

To Be Concluded...Not Next Wednesday, but...

THURSDAY!

(Wednesday is Christmas Day!

We suspect you'll be enjoying the holiday...we know we will!)

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder ATARI FORCE "Galaxian" Part 2

We Have Already Seen...

Sent by the Atari Corporation in 2005 to probe the Multiverse to find a habitable planet for mankind to move to after wars and pollution have rendered Earth's biosphere on the verge of collapse, the tired crew of Scanner One are exhausted after months of fruitless exploration.

This particular mission began with them killing (in self-defense) a large worm-like creature whose much-larger parent almost destroyed the ship!

With the crew both physically and emotionally "burned-out", expedition commander Martin Champion has hard decisions to make...

But will the Atarians have to fight for peace?

 To Be Continued

Next Wednesday!
Trivia:
Writers Roy Thomas and Gerry Conway took the backstory from the game and overhauled it, as you can see...

What do you think of their "reconcepting"?

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder ATARI FORCE "Galaxian" Part 1

Welcome to the Final Tale of the Original Atari Force...

...as they probe the Multiverse for a new home for humanity to replace a devastated Earth!

Several questions:

Who are the people shown in the holocube?

Does Atari not have a version of the Prime Directive?

Writers Roy Thomas & Gerry Conway and artists Gil Kane & Dick Giordano may have the answers, but they ain't telling, yet!
This mini-comic, DC's Atari Force #5 (1983), was packaged with the Atari videogame cartridge Galaxian.

It was not sold separately.

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder ATARI FORCE Part Four "Conclusion"

In 2005...

...humanity, spearheaded by the Atari Force, explored multiple dimensions of the Multiverse to prepare to colonize them since Earth's biosphere is rapidly-decaying!

However, some species, such as the Malagon, are hostile to the intruding humans, but Atari techs developed the Phoenix starfighter to defeat them...if the pilot knows the correct strategy!

Note that the combat technique shown here was actually the way to win the video game!

As shown last week, when this digest-sized comic was reprinted in standard comic size as an insert in a couple of DC's ongoing books, the rather nasty-looking Malaglon...

...became almost-too cute-to-shoot frogs...

...not that something like that would ever stop a trigger-happy human pilot!

Liberator was the Atari arcade game which utilized the Atari Force comic's characters and graphics to greatest effect...

...from the advertising/promotion material...

...to the arcade console itself!

The Atari Force WILL Return!
