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

When Last We Left the War-Torn Earth of 2005 (as seen from 1982)...

...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.

Reading Room TALES TO ASTONISH "I Found the Abominable Snowman!" Part 1

Baby, it's COLD outside!

So, here's one of the coolest (literally) giant monster tales from the final days of Atlas Comics' pre-Marvel Universe Tales to Astonish! told by the King himself, Jack Kirby, assisted by inker Dick Ayers!

Be Here Thursday...

...when things get even hairier for Victor Cartwright!

(Sorry, couldn't resist!)

Unfortunately, there's no available record (or even consensus among experts) as to who wrote this snow-bound story from Tales to Astonish #24 (1961).

But, if you haven't read this tale previously, the conclusion does have a couple of surprising developments!

BTW, when we said this was from the "final days" of the pre-Marvel Universe Atlas Comics, we weren't kidding!

The very next month saw the debut of Fantastic Four #1, launching the Marvel Age of Comics!

Space Force Saturdays SPACE PATROL "Gambling Den of Space"

Here's a tale featuring an evil Plutonian who runs a mobile gambling den...

...which stays in unclaimed space like today's gambling ships anchor in international waters offshore from seaports.

(BTW, Does Kodi look like a prototype for Star Trek: the Next Generation's Ferengi?)

Alien subordinate with weird ears who's smarter than the series' human hero refusing a command of his own?
Who does that remind you of?
Hint: Classic STAR TREK!!!
