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!
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 1

This Month...a never-reprinted Interstellar Adventure...

...that was meant to be a series, but, sadly, didn't work out that way!








To Be Continued...Next Wednesday!
 These opening pages introduce the protagonists, the state of the universe they're in, and the current situation.
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.
When the Atari Force was revived as an ongoing regular-format comic series with a different storyline more related to the mini-series, Garcia Lopez was brought in as penciler with Ricardo Villigran as story page-inker, though Jose penciled and inked covers for the first three issues.
After that, Garcia Lopez's heavy workload on licensing and other projects kept him from doing more than occasional inking of others' pencils or pencils & inks on a cover!

NEXT WEDNESDAY

Officially-titled DC's Science Fiction Graphic Novel #3Frost & Fire (1985), this was part of DC Comics' second attempt at an ongoing series of graphic adaptations, this time of existing material from noted sci-fi/fantasy authors.
(The first series featured original concepts and stories by comic creatives including Jack Kirby, Howard Chaykin, and Alex Nino.)
Both series ran for seven issues.
Except for Jack Kirby's The Hunger Dogs, which concluded the original New Gods series, none of the stories has ever been reprinted!
