The only cover I have seen of her was from 1979 and was dated April 7th - 13th of that year. This image shows the date of April 14th - 20th and I am assuming it would also be from 1979. I checked a site that has covers from the 50's through the 2000's and looked through everything from 1977 - 1981 and this cover is not there. Just wondering what/when this one was published.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-41959002726076965302013-07-20T18:54:03.898-04:002013-07-20T18:54:03.898-04:00I had saved the Battlestar Galactica TV Guide issu...I had saved the Battlestar Galactica TV Guide issue in my desk draw (had it for a long time), but my father threw away everything that was in my desk one day without asking, because he needed extra garbage to add for the regular service. Ugh! Additionally, he got rid of the BG Photostory book, too.

Kubrick had them removed when he first looked at the finished model and realized that the radiators made it appear as if <i>Discovery</i> had *wings* - something -not- needed in airless space! So Doug Trumbull cut them off, but left the mounting points to imply that they'd been jettisoned after the engines had been "shut down and mothballed", as Sir Art Clarke put it.OMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08054262880763821191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-30713396879307684852010-10-15T15:09:24.803-04:002010-10-15T15:09:24.803-04:00Yeah, that was definitely the back of the Discover...Yeah, that was definitely the back of the Discovery from 2001.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04157952529413529997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-17065689826435274362010-07-04T20:12:31.343-04:002010-07-04T20:12:31.343-04:00Jef - I never checked out your link 'til my wi...Jef - I never checked out your link 'til my wife stumbled across the site separately - but I didn't want you to think that I was denying you credit for pointing it out in my other post.<br /><br />Thanks!Christopher Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15978811373546110421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-8770430004812771892010-06-26T09:22:11.798-04:002010-06-26T09:22:11.798-04:00Check this out.

I'm sure he could do something more photorealistic (at least, I assume TV Guide hires professional artists). But usually, you learn the rules first, then learn how you want to break them.<br /><br />OTOH, I totally agree about Maren.
