videotwit Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 Besides the half-sized pack-in comics, there are also Full Sized Atari Force Comics. -- There was a 16 page "preview" in some random DC issue (can't remember which, but I traded it to Jah Fish so maybe he can clear it up) -- Then there was a 20 copy run of the actual comics. -- To end it all there was also a Graphic Novel based on the Atari Force story called Star Raiders. Plus there are many other places that the Atari Force shows up -- all my examples here are US releases, but there are plenty of non-US releases.

They all came in the box with the respective game. As far as I know none of them were available separately. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhd Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 When did they start the comic pack-in? I first got Berzerk new in 1981 (or very early in 1982) and that did not include the comic. It did have the huge 5-language version of the manual. (I never had any of the other listed games when they were new). I didn't see an Atari Force comic until one came with a big "box o' Atari stuff" at a flea market years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fretwobbler Posted December 14, 2001 Author Share Posted December 14, 2001 The copywright year on the Defender I have with issue 1 is 1982 so I presume 1982. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahfish Posted December 14, 2001 Share Posted December 14, 2001 i just recieved a brand new entry today: the german version of the novels for star raiders and warlords i have so more of the star raiders one. if anybody wants one: they're in new condition, never used. one including shipping to usa would be about 15$ let me know if you want one. i'll also trade for catalogs i don't have as well as books or videogame magazines .... greetings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
