CLASSIC IMAGE: RIGHT CYLONS, WRONG EPISODE!


Back in the days when cinemas had imaginative outside movie posters and lobby promos, here's an overseas photo card for the European release of MISSION GALACTICA: THE CYLON ATTACK, a compilation movie of the series episodes Fire in Space and The Living Legend two-parter, though the promotional image they've actually used here is from Gun on Ice Planet Zero!

CLASSIC ART: A MULTITUDE OF ICONS!


Another classic art piece by Mark Daniels/ Sublevel Studios that came out last year in celebrating the series 35th Anniversary. The show's key iconography of Cylons, Colonial Vipers and the Galactica fleet make for great compositions.

CLASSIC ART: BUBBLE-STAR GALACTICA!


During late 1978, I must have travelled numerous South London news vendors and consumed well over a hundred pieces of pink bubblegum strip within the photo cards series for BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, and I still never got the complete set of original cards-there was at least three or four of those white edged photo marvel devils that proved elusive. And, having been a sprightly youth at the time, I never kept any of the pack wrappings, either. So this scan (a US TOPPS cover rather than a UK one- we never had the stickers) at least makes for some compensation in the latter area.
