COMICS
Atari Force A year after the Atari Force mini comic series ran, DC decided to do an official full-size comic spin-off of the original story and characters. This was the '2nd generation' Atari Force of sorts, with the main character from the original series, Martin Champion. |

Atari Force 1 The 1st of what was a series of 5 pack-in comics. Published by DC Comics. Pack-in with Defender. Created and written by Gerry Conway and Roy Thomas, with visual concepts and art by Ross Andru, Dick Giordano, and Mike Decarlo. An interview with Thomas in Alter Ego #100 mentions a paragraph on Atari Force, which didn't really reveal anything new (other than that the idea started when DC's Jenette Khan had Conway and Thomas fly to Silicon Valley to meet with Atari engineers, and the fact that Conway did basically all the work on the series, despite the fact that Thomas was credited as co-creator). |
