CLASSIC ART: DOGFIGHT!


One of the trainee female Viper pilots is in trouble on the cover of issue four of the classic MARVEL BATTLESTAR GALACTICA series of the late seventies, in a terrific comics adaptation of LOST PLANET OF THE GODS from writer Roger McKenzie, alongside fantastic art from comics legend Walt Simonson. This was the last story from the actual classic series adapted for the comics medium.

Wikipedia has a fine section on the history of the GALACTICA comics that's well worth checking out: Battlestar Galactica (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
