@Mr. KnowitAll:

Actually, DC was making the worlds crappiest comic books. Then Marvel arrived and usurped DC of such dubious honor.

Well, I guess we still have the indies, and some manga is OK, right?

Hahaha, neat stuff

I liked how the name "Atari" was (perhaps unintentionally) spelled out to be a recursive acronym: Atari Technology and Research Institute, unless that is actually what Atari stood for, which is even more funny to me

No arguments about the original, but I must say the sequel Atari Force series, that picked up on the story 20 years later, was quite awesome, as I recall. It had some great aliens, ships, guns, fonts!, cool characters and an impressive story arc to boot.
Believe it or not!

Glad you enjoyed the piece. I stand by my analysis of D.C.'s pioneering work.

Brings back a lot of memories. I remenber playing the game and reading the comic book.

You have to remenber that this was intended for a younger audience not your typical 30 year old video game guys.

Quite frankly, I find you to be rather arrogant and quite pompus.

“world’s crappiest comic books”

Just this comment alone leads me to believe you either A) A complete Idiot. B) A person who NEVER in his life read comic books.

DC Comics have given us great excellent stories. Do please don't make stupid analysis base on your puny knowledge.

(Trips over site.) Ow, that hurt. (Wonder if anyone will read this…?)

Love the review. Man, did we really like this stuff as kids, or did we think it was cliche even back then? I can't remember.

Anyway, I can't send you the comics, as I lack them, but I can send a link - they've got them scanned at http://www.atariage.com/comics/ . Except there's two pages missing - and I LOVE this - the big climactic splash panel in issue five! It's almost as if to say, "Okay, you have the stock setup with the stock Ultimate Bad Guy and the stock hero's stock method of beating the stock Bad Guy, along with the stock pacifist trapped with the stock traitor. You don't really need to see precisely how they win. Just guess. You're probably right."

Still, it's amusing pulp, and ripe for poking fun at. Hope to see more in the future.:)

Thanks for the comments, guys. If somebody sends me Atari Force #2 (I only have #1 and #5, I think), I'll review that one as well.
