CLASSIC IMAGE: HERE COMES THE BRIDE...


There's never not been a time when British beauty Jane Seymour hasn't looked gorgeous or spectacular, either as herself or in the wide variety of on screen characters she's played, but her portrayal of Serina in Galactica will always be particularly memorable, especially when seen in this striking wedding dress creation, as seen in part two of Lost Planet of the Gods. Lucky Apollo, eh?

CLASSIC ART: CYLON ATTACK!

 


Legions of Cylons, led by a distinctive death-delivering Gold Centurion (one of its kind, the memorable Vulpa, having previously appeared onscreen in Gun on Ice Planet Zero) go on the attack in this stunning art. If anyone knows the artist of this piece, please get in touch.

CLASSIC IMAGE: WHAT'S IN A NAME?


Probably the classic series greatest guest star, acting/dance legend Fred Astaire was simply marvellous as the aging conman who might just be the father of that equally lovable rogue-of-sorts Starbuck, in the highly-regarded episode The Man With Nine Lives. Had the series continued for a second year, I'm sure Astaire/Chameleon would have returned for more comedy escapades with a genuinely awestruck Dirk Benedict.

CLASSIC ART: UNDER ATTACK!


It may have had the briefest of runs, but it was always a great thrill when a new Marvel Comics issue of Galactica was released via my London-based comic shops during 1979. The excellent covers promising all the thrills, action and adventure we wanted. This was one of my particular favourite covers - I can't resist a good series space battle - and another splendid piece of work from Walt Simonson during that era.
