Here's the final batch of cover scans from Marvel Comics' terrific
Battlestar Galactica monthly comic book series. As I stated in previous installments, I think Marvel did a great job with the property, especially any story that involved artist/writer
Walt Simonson. It's a shame that it didn't continue on, like other Marvel licensed comics that outlived the properties they were based on, like
ROM and
The Micronauts...
Additional
Battlestar Galactica comics would be published in the 90s by Rob Liefield's Maximum Press and Realm Press, and again recently by Dynamite Comics, which released comics based on the SciFi/SyFy Channel revival show, as well as the original ABC incarnation - and even
Galactica: 1980! I hated the Maximum books, liked some of the Realm issues, and have never laid eyes on any of the Dynamite comics.
Still trying to catch up with overdue assignments (like my
DVD Late Show reviews), and get back in a blogging mood. With luck, regular posting will resume shortly. I still need to select December's "
Space Babe!"
If Galactica had been like this it wouldn't have been cancelled
ReplyDeleteI NEED to pick these issues up and get the whole Simonson run.......anything Walt does is gold, and these look teriffic........ i had some as a kid, but its been 30 years since i've seen them......off to Ebay!

ReplyDeleteMy 12-year-old self wished they did more with the Cylon Mark III. He was too cool.
ReplyDeleteSo issues #17 & #18 had appearances of Red Hulk?

ReplyDeleteThe Cylon Mark III in issue #16 was just an incredible story.
ReplyDeleteThe Cylon Mark III in issue #16 was just an incredible story.I agree.Along the Cye,from Return of Starbuck,this was an idea BG creators are too stupid to pick up on and use again.Although there was flaws,reworking the concept,makes a great idea.Cylons up there with Colonial Warriors
ReplyDeleteAmazing covers! I remember reading this BG series as a kid. I would hope that a comic company (possibly Dark Horse or IDW) would reprint all 23 issues. This would make a nice-sized Omnibus or thick Trade.
