CLASSIC IMAGE: FRONT AND CENTRE!
Though the series showed us many great onscreen angles of the formidable mother protector vessel of the Galactica, this was one impressive shot we never saw, though it was ultimately captured in photo reference form.

CLASSIC IMAGE: ATHENA ON WATCH!
Athena is clearly looking for someone on the Galactica bridge, or most likely keeping tabs on that wandering ladies man Starbuck, in this scene taken early on during the series.

CLASSIC ART: UNDER ALIEN SKIES!
A lone Colonial warrior surveys the incredible alien expanse around him from atop his Starhound fighter craft, in an early piece of Ralph McQuarrie concept art for Star Worlds, later to become Battlestar Galactica.
Though the fighter concept was ultimately abandoned in favour of the longer, sleeker Colonial Viper development, McQuarrie's ship design would ultimately form the basis to the Earth Defense Directorate starfighters used in the classic Buck Rogers in the 25th Century TV series of 1979, which has now been released in its two season entirety on remastered DVD format in the UK, via Universal/Fabulous Films.

CLASSIC ART: CYLON CHALLENGERS!
Our exemplary Galactica sci-fi warriors in Apollo, Starbuck and Athena make for a fine trio against the rising Cylon menace, in this terrific art by Clint Langley, which also has exciting echoes to the classic Star Wars movie posters of 1977.
