Description
The exact pedigree of this page is somewhat doubtful, as every single panel here is pasted on the comic backing board. Some of the panels are actually assembled from multiple pieces - for example, the 'three-headshot' panel is three different heads pasted over each other.

I find it very difficult to determine if they are original art pieces pasted together, or if they are stats pasted together - the paper is unlike the shiny thin stat paper used at the time, and brushstrokes may be visible. It's really hard to tell. I'm going to be requesting help from more experienced sources, and will publish our findings here. Feel free to post comments or opinions below as well.

Note the three different color jobs for the three different editions published for the adaption of Battlestar Galactica - certainly notable are the successive corrections made to the character of Col. Tigh, whose race and ranking uniform apparently hadn't been communicated to the penciller, but was known by the time it came to do colors. Looks like the Super Special was done first, with the Digest next, and the Comic Adaption done last.

Didn't the original series art get hacked up and re laid out so it could be published again on a differently proportioned page? (or am I thinking of something else?)

I don't know if BSG got published in the UK in a weekly.

I'm thinking more of a movie related special edition sort of thing, like the Ace Books Paperback.
