BG Comic Question: The Memory machine
Has anybody in the USA received the book or seen it at a comicbook retailer? I ordered from amazon and finally gave up after receiving delay after delay messages from amazon.  |

You mean the memory machine saga from the 1979 Marvel comic series? That Memory Machine?
I've had it since about 1985 or so, lol... maybe earlier...

Sorry for those who don't have the original comics that it's not coming out, though truth be told this whole storyline was pretty wrongheaded from the start and guaranteed that Marvel's Galactica comic would be short-lived.

It was pretty bad wasn't it?
I rather enjoyed it when I was about 14 though... I think... (lol)

Well the problem I had with it was (1) it dragged on forever and amidst that we got a couple poorly written flashback stories/diversionary stories and (2) Baltar was left for dead on Kobol by Lucifer and never appeared again in the entire run of the Marvel series.
The other big strike Marvel had against it was they couldn't adapt any episodes after LPOTG and that meant we had a universe with no Cain, no Sheba, no Count Iblis. Too much of the mythos that the series developed in one year was missing.

Yeah, I caught that too. I always wondered why it diverged so much at the time but didn't think about them not being able to do it.
And, of course, the artwork pretty much sucked too...

Sadly, I never did read the comics beyond the GIANT movie special adaptation of Saga of a Star World.
Regretfully,
