Atari Force #11

José Luis García-López's interior art pairs with a cover by Ed Hannigan and Dick Giordano that pulls no punches: a menacing figure looms over a fallen teammate, weapon in hand, beneath the stark declaration "By Blackjak — Betrayed!" The raw tension of that standoff — one character dominant and armed, another sprawled and vulnerable — sets the stage for Gerry Conway's "Betrayal" chapter perfectly. Atari Force #11 from November 1984 is the kind of mid-series installment that reminds you why this DC sci-fi adventure earned its devoted readership.
