CLASSIC ART: REMEMBERING THE 'GALACTICA' STRIPS OF 'LOOK-IN' MAGAZINE

Apollo confronts the Imperious Leader in a classic adventure.

The highly enjoyable Starloggd blog spot has a fun look back at the UK GALACTICA strip, from the iconic talent of artist Martin Asbury, and features that were so popular in the LOOK-IN comic magazine of 1979/80, of which the series first appeared in its weekly pages before it actually made its premiere on the ITV regions.

CLASSIC IMAGE: REPTILE SCHEMER!

High atop his throne perch, the evil machinations of the multi-brained Imperious Leader (played by actor/stuntman Dick Durock, voiced by Patrick Macnee) against his human enemies continue. Intriguingly, many of the close-ups of the creature filmed for the pilot episode were apparently deemed too scary looking for viewers-hence the often long shots seen. Other behind the scenes legends reveal that Glen A. Larson was unhappy with its final look and asked for their to be no close-ups of the creature in the series. The Imperious Leader is certainly a reptilian cyborg hybrid of long-standing rule, and even has a pet lizard on his arm if you look close enough in early shots.
