Atari Force #9

A striking close-up of a young woman's face — her wide green eyes filled with shock and vulnerability — dominates this September 1984 issue of DC's Atari Force, subtitled "Shadows of the Past!" The cover art by José Luis García-López is rendered with remarkable intimacy, a hand pressing against her temple suggesting psychic intrusion or overwhelming memory against a warm, tech-tinged background. Writer Gerry Conway and García-López were crafting something genuinely compelling here, and the story title "Memory Lane" promises an emotionally charged chapter in this sci-fi series.
