Atari Force #8

A massive, blue-skinned behemoth dominates this August 1984 cover, standing resolute amid a sea of green-uniformed soldiers swarming across the battlefield — his speech bubble declaring "Babe wanna go home!" says everything about both his personality and his predicament. A fierce, fang-toothed alien warrior looms in the foreground while a caped figure leaps dynamically through the chaos above, making this a wonderfully kinetic image from cover artist José Luis García-López. With Conway and Helfer steering "Babe's Story," this issue puts one of Atari Force's most endearing characters front and center in what promises to be a standout chapter of DC's sci-fi adventure series.
