Aggy,...TC, Aggy and Sean, thanks for all the info.<br /><br />Aggy, Sorry it took so long for your comment to appear. For some reason, Blogger diverted it to the spam folder, from where I had to rescue it.<br /><br />Colin, I think the appeal of Marvel's Logan's Run adaptation for me lay in the way it was drawn by George Perez. He managed to make it feel like a proper comic story, rather than just being a slavish adaptation of a film.Steve W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09191442559702617745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-69976114608779665672016-08-29T04:12:11.174+01:002016-08-29T04:12:11.174+01:00The only movie adaptations I've read are the f...The only movie adaptations I've read are the five apes movies (all in the POTA weekly but "Battle" was so boring that I finally stopped reading the comic), Golden Voyage of Sinbad (also in POTA) and Star Wars which I owned as two Treasury Editions. I've never read the George Perez Logan's Run but I'm fascinated that it's "better than the movie" because, in my opinion, the movie is actually pretty good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-11783241704401831882016-08-29T00:55:39.255+01:002016-08-29T00:55:39.255+01:00Steve, some might say the inability of comics to i...Steve, some might say the inability of comics to include music in an adaptation could be a positive advantage.

Battlestar Galactica...There were actually 2 movies. Battlestar Galactica, which was cut from 1st 3 episodes of the series. And Mission Galactica which was the 2 part "Living Legend" episodes with the following episode "Fire in Space". Living legend featured the return of the Battlestar Peagasus captained by Lloyd Bridges.<br /><br />Both released on DVD and worth the few pounds they can normally be found for.<br /><br />I had 2 issues of the digest version on Battlestar as a kid (published by Marvel UK in B&W around 1980/1). But only got the full series many years later.<br /><br />I enjoyed the Marvel UK Star Wars weekly as a kid having every issue.<br /><br />I never really went for TV and Movie adaptations. Probably the only exception was the 11 issue DC Babylon 5 series in the early 90s which featured story elements before they appeared in the TV seriesAggynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-20976443372138826272016-08-28T21:11:04.749+01:002016-08-28T21:11:04.749+01:00Dell and Gold Key/Western both did a lot of TV and...Dell and Gold Key/Western both did a lot of TV and movie tie-ins in the sixties, usually with photo covers, sometimes with movie poster art or painted covers. <br /><br />I had The Valley of Gwangi, based on the Ray Harryhausen "cowboys vs. dinosaurs" movie. It may have been the last issue of Dell's Movie Classics series. <br /><br />Western did a lot of Disney adaptations, both the cartoons (like Peter Pan, Sleeping Beauty, Lady & the Tramp) and live action movies (e.g., Swiss Family Robinson, In Search of the Castaways). I had Blackbeard's Ghost, The Gnome-Mobile, and The Boatniks. <br /><br />Sometime around 1968-69, I had Gold Key's King Kong, based on the 1933 movie. At about that same time, they also published adaptations of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Yellow Submarine. The latter two movies were musicals, so Marvel wasn't alone in the "what were they thinking!?" category. <br /><br />I also had Charlton's Fantastic Giants ca. 1970. AFAIR, it was a one-shot. It reprinted their adaptations of Gorgo and Konga. <br /><br />The only Marvel movie comics I had were For Your Eyes Only and a couple of issues of Star Wars. <br /><br />And, yes, the first two Battlestar Galactica episodes were cobbled together into a movie and released in theaters. The same thing was done with the Buck Rogers made-for-TV movie/TV series pilot episode. <br /><br />TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13686814973788356726noreply@blogger.com
