Colonial Fan Force Magazine Ad Published!
October 01, 2004 by Webmaster
New report from Commander Taggart of ColonialFanForce.org on September 30th: "Yeppers! I just got back from the Vesuvius Post Office where a little package from Variety has been waiting for me. As I carried the package back to the house, I felt like I was a little kid again, having just received some plastic bauble from the Johnson C. Smith Company ordered from the back of a Fantastic Four comic book. I very carefully ripped away the large manila envelope covering, which had been torn in several places during its coast-to-coast journey. Fortunately, none of the magazines inside had been damaged. I began flipping through the pages of the magazine on top... past pages of articles and other full-page ads for television shows and movies. Finally, I arrived at page 19. And there it was. And it was beautiful." Congratulations to the Colonial Fan Force and Battlestar Galactica fans for making the magazine ad happen! This is only an excerpt of Commander Taggart's report, so be sure to check out the following link at the Battlestar Galactica Club Forums for the complete report.

Battlestar Galactica Titan Comic Book Delayed
October 01, 2004 by Webmaster
The classic Battlestar Galactica comic book from Titan Comics, Battlestar Galactica: Saga of a Star World, has been delayed to January 2005. Amazon.com describes the comic book as follows: "Before Star Trek: The Next Generation, Farscape and Stargate SG-1, there was 1980s cult TV series Battlestar Galactica: the smash-hit sci-fi show that rocked the spaceways with its legendary stories, memorable villains and awesome hair styles! This classic comic-strip adaptation tells the story of the very first episodes of the hit TV series. After a surprise attack by battle droids, the Cylons, the human race faces extinction. Now the last remaining warship, the Battlestar Galactica, leads a ragtag refugee fleet across a savage galaxy in a desperate search for that one glimmer of hope amongst the stars — the planet Earth!" Thanks to Kingfish for posting the report at the Battlestar Pacifica forum.
