==Marvel Comics==

Marvel Comics began its adaptation of Galactica with ''[[Marvel Super Special 8: Battlestar Galactica|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.  
[[File:Marvel2.jpg|thumb|right|Marvel Comics Series - ''Issue 2'']]
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.  This adaptation was also released in a tabloid format by both Marvel Comics and Whitman Comics.  

Spurred on by the success of this adaptation, Marvel began a monthly comic series that ran from 1978 through 1980, and lasted a total of 23 issues.  The first three issues, titled ''[[Battlestar Galactica (1979 Comic)|Battlestar Galactica]]'', ''[[Exodus!]]'' and ''[[Deathtrap!]]'' respectively, consisted of a longer adaptation of ''Saga of a Star World,'' taking much of the art from the Super Special adaptation and expanding it by several pages.

The adaptation of the series continued in next two issues entitled ''[[Into the Void]]'' and ''[[A Death in the Family]]'', which chronicled the story from the two part television episode "[[Lost Planet of the Gods]]". 

Beginning with ''[[The Memory Machine]]'', Marvel began publishing all new stories based on the characters in the series. From this point, the story began to depart from what was depicted in the series. According to letters pages within the publication, Marvel's contract with Universal Studios specifically did not allow them to use anything from the television series that followed "Lost Planet Of The Gods". 

In the storyline that unfolded, a good deal of the comic took place in the magnetic void which the fleet first encountered in the TV episode "Lost Planet of the Gods". In the end of the TV episode, the fleet moves back into normal space, leaving the void behind, but in the comics the rag tag fleet remains in the void beginning in issue #4, with the fleet finally returning to regular space in issue #14. (This makes placing the episodes within the span of the TV series difficult, since much of the action could be surmised to have taken place between "Lost Planet of the Gods" and "Lost Warrior".)

In terms of tone, many of the Marvel comics had horror elements, a theme that was visited sparingly in the TV series.  An incomplete list of monsters from the comic series would include a space vampire (issue #9), a carnivorous planet (issue #10), alien vermin (issue #15), a crewmember who transforms into a red ape (issues #17 and #18) and a monstrous shapeshifter (issue #21). Even the menacing and relentless Cylon Mark III in issue #16 owes as much of his origin to horror elements as he does to science fiction. Taken as a whole, Marvel’s Galactica is somewhat darker in tone than the series, but this not-so-subtle paranoia is arguable truer to the initial premise of the series than were some of the latter episodes of the television program.

Notably, the writers of ''Galactica'' comic were quite willing to remove key characters from the dramatic mix for periods of time. From issues #6 to #12, Commander Adama is placed within a machine to help him remember the ancient writings he briefly saw on Kobol and, although we do spend some time in his dreams, he is effectively removed from commanding ''Galactica'' for several issues, which of course sets up its own dramatic tension.

Another character who leaves the series for awhile is Starbuck, as part of perhaps the most effective story arc in the series. In this plotline the fleet stumbles upon Scavenger World, the dominion of the female space pirate Eurayle, who makes a deal to spare the Colonials if she can keep Starbuck at her side. The interactions between Starbuck and Eurayle are memorable, and the conclusion of the storyline, with a tremendous battle in issue #13, is a satisfying conclusion. At the end of the tale, Starbuck remains with Eurayle, and the fleet moves on without him, which of course sets us up for his triumphant return in issues #19 and #20.

Unlike both television series, ''Galactica'' comic actually had a planned ending, with a series of plot devices being wound up in the final two part story of issues #22 and #23. In the course of solving a mystery, Lieutenant Jolly finds adventure and romance and helps in figuring out the long sought coordinates for Earth. A tongue in cheek adventure ably drawn and scripted by Walt Simonson this plotline provided a strong end for a memorable series.

===SuperSpecial Adaptation===

''[[Marvel Super Special 8: Battlestar Galactica]]''

While not a great adaptation, what makes this comic interesting is that it is based on an early script of the pilot, and thus there are several distinct differences.

==Look-In Magazine==

''[[w:Look-in|Look-In Magazine]]'', a UK based publication for children, published a serialized comic strip featuring ''Galactica'' from October 20, 1979 through October 11, 1980. The four untitled storylines spanned 52 issues, and contained 13 two page chapters per storyline. A very solid composition throughout, this incarnation of the rag tag fleet has been largely overlooked.<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://www.geocities.ws/juniortvtimes2006/battle.htm|title=John's Look-out: A Guide to Look-in the Junior TV Times|date=|accessdate=30 December 2007|last=|first=|format=|language=}}</ref>

==Grandreams Annuals==

The UK company Grandreams came out with two ''Battlestar Galactica'' hardcover annuals, which contained short text and comic book stories. Far inferior to the Look-In strips, these comics were aimed primarily at children.

==Maximum Press==
[[File:mp war of eden 1.jpg|thumb|right|''War of Eden 1'']]
For a very long time, ''Battlestar Galactica'' did not appear in comics.  Finally, in July of 1995, Maximum Press (a [[Wikipedia:Rob Liefeld|Rob Liefeld]] imprint) published a miniseries that continued ''Galactica'' mythos, and ignored the storyline from ''[[Galactica 1980]]''. This miniseries is also known as the ''War of Eden''.
	
This series was popular enough that it encouraged Maximum to keep going, and soon more miniseries appeared. ''Apollo’s Journey'', ''The Enemy Within'', and ''Starbuck'' all published as three issue series in 1995 through early 1996. ''Journey’s End'', the final four issue series, broke many Galactica conventions.  For example, there is a depiction of ''Galactica'' traveling back through time back to the destruction of the Colonies.  This was not to last, however, and after the publishing of a compendium volume in early 1997, Maximum announced it would cease publishing comics based on ''Battlestar Galactica''.

==Realm Press==
In 1998, Realm Press brought ''Battlestar Galactica'' back to comics again beginning with their ''Battlestar Galactica Search for Sanctuary'' single issue special. Other one shots were subsequently published. Later, Realm introduced a monthly comic titled ''Battlestar Galactica Season 3''. This series only ran for three issues before it was canceled, and shortly thereafter Realm abandoned the project altogether.

The Realm series was notable for its use of airbrushed art and its attempts to remain faithful to the look and feel of the Original Series.

==Dynamite Entertainment==
In May 2006, Dynamite began its forays into ''Battlestar Galactica'' comics with releases within the [[Re-imagined Series]] universe. The debut series of comics are set within the framework of the show and were set between the episodes "[[Home, Part II]]" and "[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]".

Beginning in late September 2006 Dynamite began releasing an [[Original Series]] [[continuation]] series.

In October 2006, a miniseries focusing on the Re-imagined Series character [[Tom Zarek]] was released, focusing on Zarek's past.

In September 2009, a miniseries focusing on a "re-imagined" ''[[Galactica 1980]]'' was released. A sequel was scheduled to be released in 2012 written by [[Dan Abnett]] and [[Andy Lanning]], jumping it 33 years later<ref>{{cite_news|first=Jeffrey|last=Renaud|url=https://www.cbr.com/lanning-flashforwards-battlestar-galactica-1980-to-2013/|title=|publisher=CBR.com|page=|date=12 November 2012|accessdate=9 April 2020|language=}}</ref>, but the series never materialized. Instead, Abnett and Lanning began work on what would be known as the 35th anniversary comic run based on the Original Series (with some 1980 elements), entitled {{comics|vol2}}. 

Other brief comic book mini-series, numbering 4 to 5 issues, came and went for both the Original and Re-imagined installments over the next decade. Some experimental re-interpretations and one-off additions were released in 2014 for the Original Series, namely ''[[Steampunk Battlestar Galactica 1880]],'' ''[[Battlestar Galactica Annual 2014]]'' and ''[[Li'l Battlestar Galactica]]'', not to be repeated thereafter in lieu of going back to mini-series events that followed the post-"[[The Hand of God (TOS)|The Hand of God]]" adventures of the [[The Fleet (TOS-DE alternate)|rag-tag, fugitive fleet]].  

Dynamite's final releases for ''Battlestar Galactica'' culminated into a 40th anniversary release covering the Original Series saga, ending in 2019. No other installments have since been announced. 

As with other comics, storylines from previous series (in both the Original and Re-imagined series) were either ignored or directly contradicted with what came after.

=== ''Battlestar Galactica vs. Battlestar Galactica'' (a.k.a. ''BSG VS BSG'') ===

In 2018, science fiction author [[Peter David]] wrote a five issue tale entitled ''Battlestar Galactica vs. Battlestar Galactica'' depicting a crossover between the two disparate versions to celebrate their different anniversaries: the 40th anniversary of the [[Original Series|original ''1978'' series]] and the 15th anniversary of the [[Re-imagined Series|2003 series developed by Ronald D. Moore]].

The six issue series, outside of the obvious fantastical nature, feature a plethora of visual  incongruities and detail deficiencies relating to both series over its limited run.

 While not a great adaptation, what makes this comic interesting is that it is based on an early script of the pilot, and thus there are several distinct differences.
