lapetino Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 Thanks, Nathan.For some reason I can't edit my post.In any case, here's another story with more detail: http://comicsalliance.com/dynamite-art-of-atari-hardcover-preview/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skarro Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Wow, that was weird... I was just thinking of asking for an update to this thread since we hadn't heard anything in a while, and lo-and-behold, the good news is finally here ! So very glad that the project didn't fall into "development hell". This looks absolutely amazing... the demo pages in the Comics Alliance site have got me drooling for this already. Awesome work, Tim and Robert... it's going to be hard waiting until the fall for this! Will this be generally available in bookstores, or through Amazon only? Or can we buy it from the publishers? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+sramirez2008 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Placed a pre-order too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Pre-ordering right now. Thank you for making this. This is a dream I had to do years ago, but a lack of ambition combined with a total lack of any ambition prevented me from doing so! Glad to see this has become a reality. The art of Atari deserves this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Just preordered two! Thanks SO MUCH for putting this book together! Just out of curiosity, might there be a possibility of ordering poster-sized prints of the Atari artwork? I'd give a lot to have a high-quality print of 2600 Missile Command (among others) on my game room wall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SabertoothRetro Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I'm using inflight wi-fi but will place my pre-order when I get home. Question: I noted that the Frogger box art on the webpage uses an Atari silver label style box. Is this an oversees box or a hack? Variations of the game were released by Parker Bros. and Starpath.

Thanks! It will definitely be available through Amazon, as well as local comic book stores. Not sure what other bookstores it will be sold in. Thanks for the kudos! We are just as excited!

CPUWIZ Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I haven't read all these pages, but I just saw it mentioned on boingboing and the first thing that came to mind was "WTF is it with that Pitfall box?". http://boingboing.net/2016/04/29/take-a-nostalgic-trip-through.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It went out with some press release images -- some from the WIP book, and apparently some from other sources. I'm not sure where it came from, honestly.

The Eyeball Mural Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I pre-ordered three copies. I can't wait to own this book, and I hope the sample pages are an indicator of what is to come. Thank you very, very much for putting this together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
