Battlestar Galactica #18

This August 1980 Marvel issue of Battlestar Galactica arrives with a striking cover by Michael Golden, depicting a fearsome red-furred beast mid-attack, clutching a human figure while a horde of similar creatures looms from the shadows behind them — a tense, primeval confrontation set against a backdrop of wreckage. The tagline "Battle for the Forbidden Fruit!" sets an urgent, mysterious tone that bridges the sci-fi world of the Colonial Fleet with something far more savage. Interior work from the team of Walter Simonson, Steven Grant, Sal Buscema, and Klaus Janson promises the same energy carried by that arresting cover.
