Battle Beyond the Stars Comic Book

[tronprogram]

I'm new here

Anyone remember the 1980 sci-fi Roger Corman produced movie Battle Beyond the Stars? It gave James Cameron his first big break in movies, featured a score by James Horner, had actors such as Richard Thomas, John Saxon, Robert Vaughn and George Peppard? It also had a famous space ship with breasts.

Well, it's coming back for it's 30th anniversary in the form of a prequel comic book called Battle Amongst the Stars. And I'm getting to write it as my first ever licensed comic gig!

More information on the book, in which issue 1 is being released in March please go here: http://www.bluewaterprod.com/news/2010_MARCH_releases.php

Sorry for the shameless plug. The 5-year-old in me is a happy boy

More of a Sci-Fi/Fantasy Forum thing, so off it goes for further analysis...

Wait...an Ellen DeGeneres comic book? A Bill Clinton one?

I vaguely recall seeing that Vincent Price comic somewhere.

Anyway, nicely done. I've heard of the movie, and the comic looks great.

@tronprogram are you still around? I was searching for any threads on Battle Beyond the Stars... i wiukd live to find out more about the prequel... and wonder how it compares to the world building of Rebel Moon, a new movie that feels like Battle...

I watched BBTS a few years ago and thought it held up really well. Would totally read this comic if it ever got made

I watch "Battle Beyond the Stars" whenever it comes on a channel I can get.

Where else will you ever see Morgan Woodward wearing alien makeup and latex?

I love that Robert Vaughn is basically playing his Magnificent Seven character but in space. Very meta.

Wow. 14 years after the last post, that's gotta be a record.

Well, most people on this thread are not a part of Rebel Moon even though it is connected (at least the most relevant for discussion)

And here is the link for the thread, in case you guys saw this modern version of Battle Beyond the Stars

He even had some of the same lines!
