Before Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Stargate SG-1, there was 1970s cult TV series Battlestar Galactica: the smash-hit sci-fi show that rocked the spaceways with its legendary stories, memorable villains and awesome hair styles! This classic comic-strip adaptation tells the story of the very first episodes of the hit TV series. After a surprise attack by battle droids, the Cylons, the human race faces extinction. Now the last remaining warship, the Battlestar Galactica, leads a ragtag refugee fleet across the galaxy in a desperate search for the planet Earth! With an introduction by Apollo himself, Richard Hatch, an exclusive new cover by Garry Leach and amazing new features this is not one to miss!

Battlestar Galactica Saga Of A Star World Comic Collection,
By Bob Benson (Avonmore, Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Battlestar Galactica: Saga of a Star World (Paperback)
This book collects issues #1-5 and #15-16 of Battlestar Galactica, originally published in single-issue form by Marvel Comics. Issues 1-5 cover the original miniseries and issues 15 and 16 are original stories. Although the artists renderings of the characters and some of the ships of the rag tag fugitive fleet didn't look much like the TV show I thought the comics were well done. I also noticed that a couple of the issues didn't seem to print as clearly as the others. I really enjoyed issue #15 that tells the story of Boomer and Jolly investigating a deep-space distress signal. During his investigation Boomer makes an interesting discovery that only he will ever know. The cover art by Gary Leach is excellent and in addition to the comics the book contains an introduction by Richard Hatch, some factoids about the series, the history of BSG in comics, books and merchandise, and some nice schematics at the end of the book that include a Colonial Viper, Cylon Raider and Baseship, and the Galactica herself. If you like comics and the original BSG I think you will enjoy this paperback.
