Atari Force Prologue. The first miniseries.

This summer, Atari Force will be the Series in Tonnerre de Brest. Ten Fridays will be filled with the Strangest Science Fiction Adventures. It all started as a flag series to promote Atari video-games, arcades and so on. DC made a miniseries with long chapters that lasted five issues.

Let’s read from
Wikipedia’s article what was it all about:

In 1982 writers Gerry Conway and Roy Thomas published the first Atari Force comics, which were created mainly to illustrate story lines for home console games being released by fellow Warner Communications subsidiary Atari Inc. The comics were packed in with the games Defender, Berzerk, Star Raiders, Phoenix, and Galaxian. Artists included Ross Andru, Gil Kane, Dick Giordano, and Mike DeCarlo. The team name and Commander Martin Champion are also featured in the Liberator arcade game. The original Atari Force was a team of humans from different nations
using the multi-dimensional starship Scanner One to search for a new planet for humanity to inhabit as the Earth was facing ecological devastation. The team consisted of Martin Champion as mission commander, Lydia Perez as pilot and executive officer, Li-San O'Rourke as security officer, Mohandas Singh as flight engineer, and Dr. Lucas Orion as medical officer. A semi-sentient alien creature named Hukka because of the noise he made later joined as team mascot.

This picture is taken from Atari Age where you can also find the first series plus other Atari/DC comicbook scans.
