CLASSIC ART: ADAMA - BRINGER OF DEATH!


The Cylons are the ultimate xenophobes, fearing and hating other species - mankind especially! So it's with good reason for them to especially fear Commander Adama, no longer their prey and prepared to unleash a deadly virus against his old enemies that may destroy them once and for all. A terrific cover for Dynamite Comics Issue 3 of the excellent Cylon Apocalypse.

CLASSIC IMAGE: THE SPACE BOUND FLEET!


One of the fuel ships of the Galactica's Rag-Tag Fleet goes overhead camera, with other ships following behind it, in another great effects shot from the pilot episode that was also used from time to time within the series. The fuel ship could be seen in the background amongst the landed Colonial Vipers of Carillon during Saga of a Star World's finale, so there must have been a further effects shot or two of the vessel planned but likely never filmed.

Intriguingly, these vehicles were devised for the original series but were never used until its kid-friendly successor.
