CLASSIC ART: ALIEN DANGERS, COSMIC DRAMA!

The return of that legendary master of war Commander Cain and the discovery of a new alien threat as well as the Cylons put the evolving remnants of the Colonial Fleet, led by Apollo, in greater danger than ever, in this great art by Luis Royo for the pleasing second adventure by Richard Hatch and Christopher Golden in their Galactica series resurrection book series: Warhawk. 

CLASSIC IMAGE: THE HAPPY WARRIORS!

They're normally seen and partaking in such serious moments on the Galactica bridge as Commander Adama and Colonel Tigh, so any chance to see Lorne Greene and Terry Carter having fun between filming, as seen with The Long Patrol, is always welcome.

CLASSIC MERCHANDISE: 'GALACTICA's BIG SCREEN EXCITEMENT!

All the excitement, action, and epic storytelling of that first Battlestar Galactica adventure on the big screen would be effectively showcased within the colourful, image-packed pages of this lovely international theatrical program for the film available in cinemas back in 1978, with now iconic cover art by Robert Tanenbaum. 

I remember my mum purchasing a copy for me when we saw the film in Sensurround at the once prestigious Empire Leicester Square Theatre, London, back in the day. Even better, the program also had rare images from the then unseen in the UK adventures Gun on Ice Planet Zero and Lost Planet of the Gods. which whetted my hungry appetite for more Galactica adventures that I hoped would come to the big screen.

It's an item of warm nostalgia I still treasure to this day...

CLASSIC ART: THE COLONIAL WARRIOR LIFESTYLE!

Serving the fleet and making the most of any opportunities that may come his way, the ever-exciting, ever-dangerous life of the Colonial Warriors' most audacious pilot and fumarella aficionado Lt. Starbuck is well captured by comic art talent Chris Ring.

Our Colonial Warrior heroes, now aware of the Ovion's secret liaisons, are more proficient than ever at killing Cylons, as seen in this great image linked to unused footage, or specially staged action for the press, linked to the finale mine escape sequence.
