About the series
In 1982 and 1983, DC Comics published Swordquest, a three-issue comic series that served as the narrative backbone for Atari's ambitious video game contest of the same name. Written primarily by Gerry Conway and Roy Thomas, with striking art by George Pérez, the story followed heroes like Torr and Tarra as they opposed the tyrannical King Tyrannus in a quest for mystical artifacts. Though short-lived, the series stands as a unique artifact of early-80s multimedia synergy, bridging the comic and video game worlds.
