    Atari Force is the name of two comic book series published by DC Comics from 1982 to 1986. Both were loosely based on trademarks of Atari, Inc. This fact file for Commander Martin Champion dates from 1982.

    “Atari Force” seems to be set in a filled-in version of Filmotype Veranda (which is itself an outlined version of Filmotype Flyer), “Fact File” is set in Stencil (which was originally released in 1937), and “#1 Commander Martin Champion” is set in ITC American Typewriter Bold. The statistics use a mixture of Data 70 (for the headers), OCR-A (for the information), and MICR (for the numbers used in that area).

    According to the credits on the other side of the front cover, Neal Pozner is credited for the design, whilst Gil Kane, Dick Giordano, and Mike DeCarlo are credited for the art.
