Wednesday Worlds of Wonder ATARI FORCE Part Two "Chapter Three: Spoils of War"

When Last We Left the Mysterious Woman in Dark Burgundy...

...(who actually was Atari's Security Chief), had started relating the "back story" about her experiences in 1998's Five Day War that almost destroyed the Earth...
Written by Roy Thomas and Gerry Conway, penciled by Ross Andru, and inked by Dick Giordano and Mike DeCarlo, this tale, included with the Atari Berzerk video game cartridge in 1982 is completes the background about both the crew and their mission.
The remaining three comics in the series (also included with VG cartridges) are about their adventures in various universes.
Note: the next chapter of Scanner One's travels (which we'll present in the near future) is not named after the game it's included with!
That honor went to a tale that, while part of this series, featured a new group of characters who were native to one of the universes and was published as a separate graphic novel!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder ATARI FORCE Part Two "Chapter Two: UNMASKED"

When Last We Left the Heavily-Guarded Atari Institute in Post-Five-Day War 2005...

...I couldn't have synopsized it better myself!
Let's see what they see...

As much as we hate to interrupt a fascinating tale by a charming (and extremely-lethal) Irish lass on the day before St Patrick's Day, the fact the chapter ends here compels us to do so!
But, when you return next Wednesday, we'll finish her tale, as well as reveal the details about the top-secret mission!
(BTW, you did notice the ship is basically a giant Atari logo, right?)

...which you'll see
NEXT WEEK!
...when you see both the secret project and learn the identity of the black-clad...err...dark burgundy-clad intruder!
