The Classic Battlestar Galactica comics published by Dynamite Entertainment draw on the original 1978 television series continuity. The two volumes listed under Dan Abnett’s bibliography are Battlestar Galactica, Volume 1 (2013), which collects the main series, and Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck (2016), a miniseries focusing specifically on the fan-favourite pilot character.

The main series volume presents new adventures for the Galactica crew in their ongoing search for Earth, maintaining the tone and visual identity of the original show. The Starbuck miniseries zooms in on the irreverent fighter pilot and his personal history, providing backstory material that the television series only touched on briefly.

Both volumes are written for fans of the original series and are best approached with familiarity with that program. Dynamite Entertainment produced a substantial range of Battlestar Galactica comics across both the classic and reimagined continuities during the 2010s, making for a varied catalogue for fans of either version.
