Speaking of Frank Frazetta, he once did some artwork for the original Battlestar Galactica, you know.

Like so.





Makes the show look a lot more bad-ass than it actually was, doesn’t it?

And yes ([livejournal.com profile] puffdoggydaddy ), I know what yr thinking – if they’d let Frazetta design the costumes, you’d have Athena and Cassiopea running around in metal thongs EVERY WEEK.

Stupid network censors.

It’s cold in space,

This is dF

I remember the top illustration. IIRC it was used for the novelization of the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA two-hour pilot. Which was released theatrically or is that BUCK ROGERS I'm thinking of?

Never saw the second one before but man is it sweet.

I'm also reasonably sure the top one was used for the novelization of the pilot. Alas, I can find no definitive proof on the Webs and the physical proof (for I own the first six or seven BG books) are in my mom's basement in East Tennessee somewhere. So it's not like I can go look.

And yr right, BG did get a theatrical release. I don't think Buck Rogers did. Not in Nashville, anyway.
