Here's the second batch of covers from Marvel Comics' Battlestar Galactica series. As I mentioned before, this franchise really worked in comics, and the writers and artists really ran with the material, free of budget concerns and expensive special effects. With the unlimited scope of the comic book page, the Battlestar Galactica comic could include a slew of alien races and planets, as well as devote subplots and storylines to some of the supporting characters. It was - and remains - a great comic; one of my all-time favorites.

The third - and final - batch of covers will be posted soon.

  1. I have fond memories of buying these comics when they originally came out back in the day.

  2. Marvel did a great job with the Galactica license... I have the full run of issues, along with the treasury edition sized version of the movie adaptation.

    Also liked the Marvel Logan's Run series... which unfortunately only lasted a few issues.
