BATTLESTAR GALACTICA MAGAZINE!
Lavish full color comic book magazine.
OUT OF PRINT. HARD TO FIND COLLECTORS ITEMS FOR THE FANS OF THE CLASSIC SCIENCE FICTION TELEVISION SERIES BATTLESTAR GALACTICA!
Published in 1979.
Marvel Comics began its adaptation of Galactica with Super Special 8. Super Special was a magazine format comic book that featured different characters or adaptations each month. Issue 8 was produced just in time for the launch of the TV series in September 1978.
The Super Special adaptation was derived from an interim script of "Saga of a Star World", and some of the differences in the story are evident.
Scripted by McKenzie and drawn by Ernie Colon, the Battlestar Galactica Super Special is an attractive adaptation with unusual panel design and use of shadow. In particular, the attack on Caprica, the psychic starting point of the series, is treated in a vivid and memorable way.
Both of these versions came out before the regular Marvel comic book series and where turned into the first three issues of the marvel series with some artwork alterations. Baltar's death was removed and the ending changed.
