When Yar's Revenge was released in May of 1982, it came with a little comic book describing the game's story.  I recently scanned and uploaded my copy of the comic to Google docs, and you guys can view/download it here:
 
Enjoy!

Awesome :D
 
Would've been cool if they explained why the Qotile were their enemy though...

Thanks for sharing.  That's pretty cool.

I'm glad you guys appreciate the scans.  
 
I'm really curious why my other thread was just locked.  I'll PM the mod and try to see what is up.  Hmm...

Dont poke bears with sticks if you ask me haha "

That was pretty awesome.
 
"It's too late to.....AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!" and then somehow the flies survive, haha. Was it common for Atari games to come with this much backstory to their games?
 
At the very least, now I might actually be able to beat Yars Revenge on my Atari Joystick. I could never figure out how to blow up the Qotile dude.

Yeah, I guess that makes sense.  I'm looking into some stuff to do to make these scans more informative, instead of just posting links. 

So awesome. Nice job with the upload.
