Re: Comic Book Cover Of The Day
They badly need to issue an All-Star Squadron omnibus. We're finally getting late Bronze Age stuff like Warlord and apparently it sold like gangbusters.

I am not sure I will be able to resist. But picking up the first ones means having to pick up 2 or 3 more to finish the series, depending on how they spread them out. Argh! |
Re: Comic Book Cover Of The Day
Man, we need more All Star Squadron, Infinity Inc., and yes, even Young All-Stars

Seeing this cover as a kid (many many years after it was published) made me wonder why there were 2 Batman there till I realized it was Wildcat. |
Re: Comic Book Cover Of The Day
Ha! I actually did a double take too and then realized it was Wildcat before I read your comment.
So, I enjoyed doing the reading order covers for Crisis so I found some others I will run through for my own amusement. :D Next up reading order story is "Wraith War" in 1983 featuring ROM who always had some cool covers. ROM #40 to #51 acts as a build-up to the event. https://media.mycomicshop.com/n_iv/600/4354173.jpg https://media.mycomicshop.com/n_iv/600/8173504.jpg https://media.mycomicshop.com/n_iv/600/709599.jpg https://media.mycomicshop.com/n_iv/600/704159.jpg https://media.mycomicshop.com/n_iv/600/708271.jpg |

Had this bad boy when I was a kid. Not sure how I came by it, though. Might have been a gift or from a garage sale. I had the accessories, but didn't have the cable. Kind of an oddity. A one-off toy that wasn't in scale with other contemporary lines like Star Wars, Micronauts, and Shogun Warriors. |
Re: Comic Book Cover Of The Day
I can't seem to remember if I had one or it was a friend that had one but I just remember it only had one of the guns and didn't light up but we still thought it looked cool. I only had a couple of ROM comics as a kid and they just were too outlandish for my tastes at the time. I plan to go and read through this Wraith War that I am posting. And speaking of...

Re: Comic Book Cover Of The Day
RIP Sal Buscema
He wasn't known as a cover artist. Just a very reliable, fast interior artist. Probably his most famous cover: https://media.mycomicshop.com/n_iv/600/728079.jpg |
Re: Comic Book Cover Of The Day
Mini-comic series that came packed in with various games and system. Possibly giveaways too. I can't remember. I just remember the covers. It later became a full-fledged real comic book that ran for 20 issues from 1984 through 1985.

That and Crystar were two I thought I'd never see toys of again. Ah, Atari Force and that Jose Luis Garcia Lopez art... |

As a budding “artist” though, I loved the designs that adorned the game boxes and insert brochures for all of the systems more than virtually any of the games one could play on them, which by default paled in comparison, visually. Somehow, a ‘character’ made up of, what, six gigantic pixel-square thingies just didn't ‘pop’ like the one on the box. :) Those Atari Force comics remind me of the only time I bought video game cartidges for a system I didn’t own: Atari’s SWORDQUEST. I wasn’t a ‘proper’ comics collector at the time, more of an off-the-rack-if-I-liked-the-art kid, but by 1982 when those games first appeared, I was very aware of George Pérez and was actively improving my drawing skills by copying him and John Byrne almost exclusively until my own ‘style’ started to emerge later on. I remember reading somewhere that Pérez drew a comic included with the then-new SWORDQUEST game. I couldn’t afford it, and couldn’t even play it, but I really wanted to get that comic! I knew it would go on sale or get clearanced eventually, as games often did, so I kept biding my time. And then the second game came out. So I bided some more. Eventually, probably some time long after the big video game crash, I did get them cheap. I recall fishing though a couple of department store bargain bins of games hunting for the SWORDQUEST titles, which had turned up in them. The problem was, other people were apparently hunting too, and they were opening the boxes and stealing the comics! I had to dig deep over several visits to finally find sealed boxes. Even at bargain prices, I still grossly overpaid for just a couple of tiny comics, but I was too chickenshit to steal like everybody else was. :lol: Pérez put the nearly same level of quality and detail into them that he put into the New Teen Titans comics I was semi-regularly buying at the time. There was a third game in 1984 that also had a comic but I had to get that one decades later on eBay just to have some closure. Still got ‘em all here. Reportedly there was a fourth game that was never released (again due to the crash? Or maybe just poor sales for that series in general?). I don’t think the comic was even produced for that one. These comics also contained clues you needed to win the games. Totally lost on me; I probably wouldn’t have spotted them even if they had ‘Big Clue’ drawn right on them. :lol: https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...37a09b0b7.jpeg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...3d46dac2a.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...175469448.jpeg |
Re: Comic Book Cover Of The Day
I remember getting this cartridge (I believe I may still have it) because of the artwork and I think only trying to play it once because it was hard and confusing as shit, as many of those games were back then.
