I’m jealous of Andrew. He has a bound copy of Atari Force. He had it made, of course, since the collection never appeared, as well as those were two separate runs anyway — the solicit was for the mini video game pack-in comics, while Andrew has the later 20-issue run collected.
Anyway, fun publish on memories of the series by Gerry Conway, José Luis García-López, as well as others, in addition to exactly how the binding was done. one of my fondest possessions is a quick sketch Mr. García-López did of Dart, my preferred character from that series. As Andrew says,
it was a truly solid team book with an fascinating cast of characters overseen by an excellent innovative team
As routine visitors know, an Atari force backup is my preferred comic story.
Also, envision my surprise while flipping with the last problem of Shazam!, #14, which came out a couple of weeks ago. In the final wrapup pages, as writer Geoff Johns is summing up some adventures the team had that we weren’t shown, there’s this caption:
In the Gamelands, we assisted the Gamesmaster rescue the Atari Force, which was super cool.
Sure, it’s likely just trademark maintenance, as I can’t see the group of characters I liked meshing well with this, however it was a nice bit mention.
