BATTLESTAR GALACTICA #6

Cover shows strong gloss and bright, unfaded colors with sharp corners and no visible creases or tears. There is a small amount of edge wear near the top right corner box and minor handling wear along the spine, but no significant spine stress lines or color breaking visible. The book is in a protective sleeve which obscures fine surface texture assessment; back cover and interior pages were not examined.

Battlestar Galactica #6 (Marvel Comics, August 1979) is part of the publisher's licensed comic adaptation of the popular ABC science-fiction television series that debuted in 1978. The Marvel series ran for 23 issues and closely followed the show's characters and storylines, including Commander Adama, Starbuck, Apollo, and the ongoing conflict with the Cylon Empire, offering fans of the program a monthly serialized extension of the property during its brief network run and subsequent syndication.

As a mid-run issue of a licensed television tie-in rather than a source of any notable first appearance or landmark creative milestone, demand for this issue is modest and driven primarily by nostalgia collectors and Battlestar Galactica media completists rather than mainstream key-issue buyers. The scarcity of certified copies, reflected in the thin CGC census with sales data only at the 9.6 and 9.8 grades, suggests limited submission volume typical of licensed genre comics from this era, which were often read and discarded rather than preserved.

The book trades as an affordable entry point for Bronze Age science-fiction and television tie-in collectors, with raw copies in low and mid grades commanding only nominal sums in the secondary market. High-grade certified examples, particularly CGC 9.8, carry a meaningful premium due to their rarity on the census rather than any inherent narrative significance, making this a book whose value is almost entirely condition-driven rather than key-issue driven.
