Here's another surprise from my man Spencer Beck. These are listed as
covers for the SWORDQUEST series of digest-sized comics that I drew for
Atari, but I believe they were actually used as the back covers (at
least for the issues actually printed-- I never drew the fourth issue).
My memory is quite fuzzy about this project (it has been over a quarter
of a century since I drew these after all) butI believe the originals
had been inked by the late, great Dick Giordano, and I don't know if
these penciled versions have ever been reproduced before, but it's
likely that for most of you this would be the first time seeing these.
Enjoy this blast from the past!
I'm putting together issue 8 of Pacesetter: the Obscura issue. It
reprints the original Obscura, along with lots of additional
materials. Unfortunately, the files we have for 4 of the images are
damaged, and I need to get good quality scans of these images.
Here we have HISTORY being offered for the first time in 22 years.
Offered up for sale is the complete
Issue # 2 ( 48 pages of artwork) to the SWORDQUEST mini-book "FIREWORLD
" PLUS ALL FOUR COVERS to the entire mini series. ( To avoid the
question, the covers will NOT be sold separately from the interior to
Issue # 2 ).
There is no price set as the artwork is
being sold via offers only. There is a minimum price ( which is VERY
reasonable ) the owner is looking for the art.
This will be a FOUR DAY closed auction. All bids must be in my email inbox by 7 PM est Friday, OCTOBER 8th, 2004.
If interested in placing a bid, EMAIL ME AT SpencerBck[a]aol.com
(email). The highest bidder will get the art ( as long as the offer goes over the "hidden" reserve price ).
Payment is due IN MY HANDS within 10
days of verification you are the winner. Postage and handling will be
based upon where you are located. Payment methods accepted are cash (
at customer's risk) checks ( which must clear the bank before art will
be shipped ) Money Orders and Western Union. I DO NOT accept PayPal or
Credit Cards. SORRY.
Two Final Notes:
1) there will be no updates as to who the highest bidder is, so make your first bid, your best.
2) This artwork is NOT owned by George Perez and is being sold on
behalf of a private owner ( who has had the artwork since the comics
came out 22 years ago ).
As a kid, I remember how excited I was
when I got the poorly designed Atari game Swordquest for my birthday.
Swordquest was more than just a pixelated time waster ... it was a
contest! Solve the game, win a cash prize. Did I say game? Make that
games. There were actually supposed to be four of these games, and you
had to solve all four of them and the puzzles within each to qualify
for the cash (I don't remember the amount ... $100? $10,000? I hope I
was excited about a prize of more than $100). I had the first one,
Earthworld, and it totally sucked. You went from room to room to room,
and you were supposed to be doing something in each of them, but hell
if I could ever figure out what the point was. No wonder the fourth one
never made it to stores. They were crap.
Anyway, the high point ... they came
with comics! Drawn masterfully by George Perez! It was the best $30
comic of all time. And you can read all three volumes (Earthworld,
Fireworld and Waterworld) at AtariAge.com, without having to figure out the point of the games. Man, if the games were only half as cool as the comics ...

From Dick Giordano
MEANWHILE… (May 1983)
written by Dick Giordano
(excerpt)
…
If you don't know what ATARI FORCE and
SQORDQUEST are (been hibernating?), they're two comic book series
produced by DC Comics for Atari to be packed with certain cartridges.
So far, ATARI FORCE numbers 1, 2, and 3 have appeared in "Defender",
"Berserk" and "Star Raiders" cartridges and SWORDQUEST numbers 1 and 2
in cartridges called "EarthWorld" and "FireWorld" respectively.
If you bough these exciting electronic
game cartridges, you know that the comics were an added plus to the
general gameply fun at no additional cost.
Fear not, friends… we're not forget
those of you who have yet to enjoy these games. Sometime in 1983, a
new, more exciting version of ATARI FORCE will be on the newsstands and
the entire SWORDQUEST saga will probably be available in a large size
than the original and released by DC as an album or a mini-series or a
series of graphic novels.
SWORDQUEST was written by Roy Thomas and Gerry Conway, drawn by George Pérez and inked and edited by yours truly.
I think Forge and Edge are interesting
ideas but now that CrossGen has repurposed them into a new size, I need
to see those before I offer any opinion/observation.
...
Yes, I know what's on our March and
May-December schedule. However, as stated elsewhere, we constantly
revise the schedule based on market conditions. I'd much rather not
tell you something is coming out in a specific month and then have us
change it. For March, which is locked down, we will have a volume of
JUSTICE LEAGUE ADVENTURES, NEW TEEN TITANS: THE JUDAS CONTRACT (back to
press), WONDER WOMAN: PARADISE FOUND (issues #170-177), GREEN LANTERN:
EMERALD DAWN II and 100 BULLETS: COUNTERFIFTH DETECTIVE.
...
Yes, we're doing our homework on
collecting George Perez's run of Wonder Woman but exact details and
release dates will be forthcoming. Part of the problem is that with
older film it takes longer to inspect and prep.

Yes, there's
a JLA Archives coming in 2003 as we cover issues #61-70 with an intro
by Denny O'Neil, as he waxes nostalgic on taking over from Gardner Fox.
...
SwordQuest, with gorgeous George Perez, is owned by Atari, which is now
longer an AOL Time Warner company. Therefore, it'd be tough to produce.
It was also drawn for a different size and wouldn't necessarily adapt
to the traditional comic book trim size. Finally, I don't recall if the
fourth book was ever finished. I do recall, though, seeing the real
prize, the jewel-encrusted sword at a trade show and thought it looked
awesome.

The paper stocks we use on the trade
paperbacks are selected using a variety of criteria. For example, are
we picking up existing film? How was the material colored (believe it
or not, changing paper stock may suddenly ruin a beautiful color job).
And of course, there's that pesky issue of price. Our commitment to a
quality package never diminishes.
Yes, we're talking about collecting
George's JLA and Wonder Woman material. However, given his detailed
work, we have to make sure the film is intact and complete. If not,
then we need to address how best to restore the work without ruining
the look of the artwork which does george and the reader a disservice.
And obviously, we'll be looking for an optimal marketing opportunity to
release such collections.
...
Covers are very important to the overall
mix, but should a collection have 185 story pages, 5 covers and a
minimum of 3 pages of front matter, that's 193 pages. The next signatur
eup makes it 208 pages and raises the issue of how to fill the
remainign pages and by going up a signature does that also mean the
price has to increase? We look at these issues closely before making a
decision.

Here's a website that has all three of the Atari Swordquest comics that
George Perez penciled. If you don't know what it was, it was a digest comic
that was 48 pages each issue in full color, and was included in each
Swordquest video game, what's interesting about this site is I really don't
know if issue three was ever released. Check it out:
