The Atari Age returns to comics with the most unexpected story of the
year: SwordQuest! In 1984, Peter Case was on his way to being crowned
champion of SwordQuest, set to win the last of four contests and lay
claim to a golden sword worth over $50,000! But when the game was
discontinued, Peter found himself without a game to finish. Now, over
thirty years later, Peter’s stuck in a different kind of game entirely —
the game of life, and he’s losing fast. But when he learns that all the
prizes meant for the SwordQuest contest of his youth are on display in
the World Arcade Museum, he finds an unknown determination that sees him
put together a team of like-minded losers for the ultimate heist job — a
real-life sword quest! The red-hot team of Chris Sims, Chad Bowers, and
Ghostwriter X (Down Set Fight) have a new game — and the stakes have
never been higher!
