Wednesday Worlds of Wonder STAR RAIDERS "Beginning...the Saga of the Star Raiders!" Conclusion


...if you can't tell from the montage above, to coin a phrase..."Things are about to get busy!"










This particular concept/plotline didn't advance any further.
But it wasn't contradicted or retconned either!
Instead, DC decided to launch an ongoing regular comic-format series as more of a direct sequel to the original mini-comics, featuring original series character Martin Champion, his son, and a new assortment of supporting characters battling original series villain Dark Destroyer!
Elliot S! Maggin wasn't the writer of this version.
Gerry Conway (who co-wrote the mini-comics) returned as writer, but Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez remained as penciler for the first story arc, then contributed covers sporadically over the series' 21-issue run!
Next Week:
A New World of Wonder!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder STAR RAIDERS "Beginning...the Saga of the Star Raiders!" Part 3

When Last We Left Jed, Tommy, and Ezikial...

...oh, the heck with it, read Part 1 HERE and Part 2 HERE!
Then come back and enjoy the mayhem!














Written by Eliiot S! Maggin and beautifully-painted by Jose Luis Garcia Lopez, this never-reprinted 1983 graphic novel was apparently-meant as the original follow-up to the previous Atari Force mini-comics which were included with video game cartridges!
None of these characters ever reappeared in the later Atari Force series, though more of the cute aliens created for the Atari Force mini-series, the Hukkas, appear here.

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder STAR RAIDERS "Beginning...the Saga of the Star Raiders!" Part 2

We Have Already Seen...

...we encounter Captain Jed Poole, his "friend and companion as well as navigator/gunner/bodyguard Tomorrow Hardtack, who meet immortal librarian/know-it-all Ezikial Vicker, who has knowledge of the Zylons!

Vicker also has a unique fighter craft called the Star Raider, which had been uncovered and used by the Atari Force against the Zylons, who had been mind-controlled by the Dark Destroyer, as shown HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE!
When they believed they had destroyed the Zylons, the Atari Force left the fighter behind, and now the Zylons want it...







 As you can see things are about to get really bad!
To Be Continued...Next Wednesday!
