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.

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.

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.

[[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''.

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}}.
In September 2009, a miniseries focusing on a "re-imagined" ''[[Galactica 1980]]'' was released. A sequel, ''[[Galactica 1981]]'', was scheduled to be released in 2010, but the series never materialized.
 
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]].
=== Galactica 1981 ===


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.
A sequel to the ''Galactica 1980'' comics, taking place a year after the end of that series, was scheduled to be released in late 2010, but never came about.
