CLASSIC IMAGE: "ALL BATTERIES COMMENCE FIRING!"

The mighty Galactica, already on battle stations alert, continues to withstand the vast array of attacking Cylon Raiders intent on destroying the Colonial Fleet, in this classic effects sequence from Saga of a Star World.

CLASSIC IMAGE: UN(MISSING) IN ACTION

Appearing to others in the guise of the missing Colonel Charlie Watts of Terra, Apollo meets his fiery girlfriend, Brenda, played with spirit by the lovely Melody Anderson- perhaps best known in sci-fi circles for playing Dale Arden in the fun eighties movie version of FLASH GORDON- in the episode Experiment in Terra.

BEHIND THE SCENES: A MIGHTY VESSEL TAKES SHAPE...

Supervised in its 1978 construction at the APOGEE workshop by veteran model maker Grant McCune, the full-size Galactica soon begins to take its familiar and now iconic shape.

CLASSIC IMAGE: THE SAGA AHEAD...

Another one of those terrific early publicity magazine covers for Saga of a Star World- this one for the Philadelphia Inquirer's TV WEEK, back in 1978

CLASSIC IMAGE: OF CARDS AND BEANS!

In the Viper pilots bunk area of the Galactica, hot-card ace Starbuck fails to anticipate the skills of young Boxey, in this scene from The Lost Warrior. When the episode was originally shown on the UK's THAMES TV back in 1981, this scene was cut out - not to be shown complete until the early nineties, when it was on BBC 2, then with a run on SKY TV.

OUT THIS MONTH: 'DEATH OF APOLLO' ISSUE FOUR

The after effects of Captain Apollo's death gain further momentum with his friends, as the fourth issue of Death of Apollo arrives later this month (31st) from DYNAMITE, with this terrific cover (one of seven) courtesy of Mike Mayhew.

Here's the story info:

In the wake of Apollo's tragic fate, Starbuck secretly recruits Boomer, Athena and a few chosen others for a desperate and unsanctioned mission, but his reckless determination may be leaving the fleet vulnerable to Cylon attack. And the gathering Cylon threat is stronger and more insidious than ever before. Starbuck won't let anything stop him... not Adama, not the Cylons and not even common sense. Shocking drama and continuity-shaking military SF action from the acclaimed writer of Guardians of the Galaxy!
