Battlestar Galactica: Starbuck – Maximum Press – (1995–1996) – Volume 1 – Limited Series - #1–3

📘 Series Summary

Published by Maximum Press, this three-issue limited series puts the spotlight on Lieutenant Starbuck, the charming and daring pilot from the original 1978 Battlestar Galactica universe. Written by Robert Napton and Rob Liefeld, with interior art by Hector Gomez, the story captures the classic high-adventure spirit of the colonial fleet while infusing it with the dynamic, high-energy visual style that defined mid-90s independent comics.

The arc begins when Starbuck’s Viper is severely damaged during a skirmish, forcing him to crash-land on a hostile, unknown planet. He is quickly captured and thrown into a brutal labor prison. To survive, Starbuck must unite with a group of desperate prisoners to stage a daring escape and recover his ship's distress beacon. While the Galactica crew—including Apollo, Adama, and Boomer—scrambles to locate their missing comrade, Starbuck leads an all-out rebel raid to break the iron grip of the prison’s commandants.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

  • The definitive 1990s solo spotlight on Lieutenant Starbuck, expanding the lore of the original 1978 continuity.
  • Features Rob Liefeld's signature cover art, representing a key chapter in Maximum Press's Galactica relaunch.
  • A classic "prison break" narrative that highlights Starbuck's tactical ingenuity and leadership under pressure.
  • Includes appearances by the full core cast of the original series, including Commander Adama, Apollo, and Cassiopeia.
  • Stunning interior artwork by Hector Gomez that balances science fiction tech with gritty character drama.
  • A complete 3-issue limited series that offers a self-contained epic for fans of the classic sci-fi franchise.
