''Battlestar Galactica'' has been adapted into comic book form since it's inception, by a number of different publishers including [[wikipedia:Marvel Comics|Marvel Comics]], [[wikipedia:Gold Key Comics|Whitman Comics]], Maximum Press, Realm Press, and [[wikipedia:Dynamite Entertainment|Dynamite Entertainment]]. This article provides an overview of the publishing history and links out to individual articles for each series and issue.

==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.
[[Image: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 the 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 the 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, the 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.

==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.

#Storyline 2 (issues 1980 #4 to 1980 #16)
#Storyline 3 (issues 1980 #17 to 1980 #29)
#Storyline 4 (issues 1980 #30 to 1980 #42)

==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==
[[Image: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 the ''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 releasing a comic series based on the [[Re-imagined Series]]. The comics are set within the framework of the show and, at at first 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. [http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=82025]

Jeffrywith1e: /* Dynamite Titles */ forgot to sign

The Wikipedia article on Battlestar Galactica comics is much more detailed than this one. -- {{unsigned|Kravotran}}
: In regards to [[w:Battlestar Galactica (comic book)|the Wikipedia article]], we do have individual pages for each comic book, so the info is segmented (and thus the main article is smaller). After all, our page is called a "List of Comics", which does its job with links to each subsequent comic. Granted, the stuff about the old comics on the WP page is interesting -- but I have a serious problem with it. After a brief review of the article, a majority of it doesn't seem to be very well sourced even by [[w:WP:CITE|Wikipedia's standards]]; the only two links of notable reference are in regards to the comics for the re-imagined series. Of course, I don't say that to disparage anyone, but as a constructive criticism. So if you feel that the info is lacking, then by all means feel free to add any information necessary, as long as it is [[BW:CJ|cited]] from reliable sources. :-) -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 06:50, 19 October 2006 (CDT)

The Realm Press comics do exist. I've seen them at a local comics store although I haven't bought any yet.--[[User:Kravotran|Kravotran]] 22:41, 19 October 2006 (CDT)

==Cleanup and Expansion==

This article needs a few things:

*Adjustments in its formatting. It may be that Original Series and Re-imagined Series comics should have their own separate lists.
*Addition of the Realm Comics series (see note above in this talk page)

--[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 12:13, 22 February 2007 (CST)

==Reorganization==
I don't like how this page tries to be a category. We should use categories themselves to organize.

I'm preparing to reorganize the various continuities, using categories, to make them easier to view:

*By publisher
*By series or story arc, if limited-run series
*By continuity (this is already done with the separate continuity tagging)

I've begun by creating a category for the Dynamite comics series, which are the currently active publications, but will backdate through earlier comics. I may begin a project that, like the [[Battlestar Wiki:Original Series Article Development Project|Original Series development project]], calls out to the masses (genus: ''homo sapiens fanboi'' ) to fill in the synopsis of these comics.

Once the categorizations are done, this page will be an encyclopedic summarization of the history of ''Battlestar'' comics, with perhaps contrast and comparisons, and be renamed. -- [[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 10:30, 23 April 2007 (CDT) <sup>([[User_Talk:Spencerian|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Spencerian|Contrib Skillz]] - [[Special:Editcount/Spencerian|Edit Skillz]])</sup>

: I'm all for this. On my end, I've begun ordering the new BSG comics, namely the Zarek ones, since that storyline is of interest to me. Yeah, I'm a Richard Hatch fan... bring it. :-D -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup>
::Since my last comment, the article has actually become a nice summation on BSG comic history, and should stick around. We still shouldn't list every comic, but create articles for them, categorize them, and leave the category links per publisher. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 08:17, 9 May 2007 (CDT)

==Boiler plate overload==
This page is getting a little like wikipedia with the stipid boiler plates. three in this case. Are they all really neccesary? Perhaps they could be combined into one custom one? --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 03:08, 9 May 2007 (CDT)
:I agree. Since the information here is about the comics published and not the comics themselves, it shouldn't be necessary to use the sep-con banners. I'm going to remove them, but maybe add a special note about the continuities. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 08:12, 9 May 2007 (CDT)

==Dynamite Titles==
The titles listed on [http://www.dynamiteentertainment.com/htmlfiles/titles.html Dynamite's website] do not match what is listed here. Any idea where the article's info came from? [[User:Jeffrywith1e|Jeffrywith1e]] 10:53, 28 September 2007 (CDT)
