Wednesday Worlds of Wonder ATARI FORCE Part Two "Chapter One: BERSERK"

...that was pretty succinct, eh?
Now let's eavesdrop on the woman in black (or dark burgundy, depending on your interpretation of her color scheme)...
Note Dr Singh's "deer in the headlights" look.
It's going to play a critical part in the story when you return...
NEXT WEDNESDAY!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder YARS' REVENGE "Qotile Ultimatum"

When is a comic book not just a comic book?

When it's also a user's manual supplement explaining concepts behind a video game!
Bonus: Here's an illustration showing the positions of the planets in conflict in the game...
Writer Hope Shafer, and artists Frank Cirocco & Ray Garst created a simplified version of creator Howard Scott Warshaw's backstory for the game.
The mini-comic was included in the package with the game cartridge and actual manual.
Trivia: Yars' Revenge was the best-selling title of the entire Atari 2600 console's games line!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder ATARI FORCE "Chapter Three: Final Approach"

...a female ninja with an Irish accent invades the Atari Institute, last bastion of science on a war-torn Earth.
Meanwhile, Commander Martin Champion and Doctor Lucas Orion have been summoned to that very installation by Assistant Director Lydia Perez, to discuss the top-secret "Project Multiverse"...

Plotted by Roy Thomas & Gerry Conway with Conway doing the script, and illustrated by Ross Andru (pencils) and Dick Giordano & Mike DeCarlo (inks), the never-reprinted premiere continued in the next issue, which was included in the package for Atari's Berserk cartridge.

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder ATARI FORCE "Chapter Two: Deadly Orbit!"

In the year 2005, the Atari Institute is infiltrated by a black-clad female martial-artist with an Irish accent.
Meanwhile, Astronaut Martin Champion and Dr Lucas Orion are summoned to the Institute by Assistant Director Lydia Perez.
En route, Champion tells Dr Orion how he met Perez years ago...
We'll find out more next week, when Champion and Orion enter...
Final Approach!
Plotted by Roy Thomas & Gerry Conway with Conway doing the script, this first "issue" of Atari Force (published in 1982) introduces us to the devastated Earth of 2005 and the group that will eventually become "Atari Force", with flashbacks about most of them.
Illustrated by Ross Andru (pencils) and Dick Giordano & Mike DeCarlo (inks), the premiere had a slick, clean, highly-professional look.
Join us next week as we probe further into both the fictional and real-life worlds of Atari Force!
