CLASSIC ART: GRUESOME ALLIANCE!

Another terrific piece of poster art from the colour MARVEL Super Special of 1978, for the original pilot/movie of Saga of a Star World, capturing the creepy menace of the Ovion miners of Carillon, counterbalanced with the technological might and firepower of a Cylon raider vehicle. Superb art from Bruce Patterson.

CLASSIC IMAGE: DUTY IN A TIME OF CRISIS!

With a rag-tag fleet of 220 ships needing inspection, all of them filled to the brim with starving, angry, ill holocaust survivors, work as a Colonial Warrior is not currently as easy as shooting tin-plated Cylons, as Lt. Boomer discovers during a tense sequence in Saga of a Star World.

CLASSIC IMAGE: PULSAR POWER!

The Cylon Raiders and their powerful heavy weaponry en masse prove a lethal attack force for the surprised Colonial Fleet and later their human homeworlds, as seen in this great image from Saga of a Star World.

CLASSIC IMAGE: DESPERATE TIMES!

The situation is grimmer than ever for our heroes trying hard to put out the raging fires within the Cylon kamikaze-bombed Galactica. And the emotional and physical strain is showing too, as the critically injured Adama's condition soon worsens, despite being capably tended to by both Med Tech Cassiopeia and Dr. Salik, in this scene from Fire in Space.

CLASSIC MERCHANDISE: MODEL MAGIC!

Surely one of the best selling aspects of Classic Galactica merchandise (and Buck Rogers too) back in the day- the superb space vehicles created by ILM/ Universal Heartland available in model kit form via Monogram, as compiled for this great comic advert. In the UK, I had the Cylon Basestar, and it looked awesome.

CLASSIC ART: THE CONTINUING JOURNEY...

Art by Luis Royo.

Our Colonial heroes in Apollo, Starbuck and Athena must boldly lead a new generation of Galacticans in the next phase of their search for the mysterious Thirteenth Tribe of Earth, in this great cover art for the start of Richard Hatch's (with Christopher Golden) hugely enjoyable series of all-new original adventures for Glen A. Larson's saga, which started their publishing cycle from 1998 onwards. The opening two books (Armageddon and Warhawk), in particular, were certainly great reads.

CLASSIC IMAGE: PEACE-MAKER, DEATH-BRINGER!

A respected leader beloved by his people but whose weariness of war and desire for peace ultimately left him vulnerable and blind-sided to what would be the near devastation of Humanity- President Adar, as played by the amiable seasoned Hollywood actor Lew Ayres, for Saga of a Star World.
