1979: THE STORY OF DIRK BENEDICT AND RICHARD HATCH

From September 1979: another bit of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA obscura courtesy of the US supermarket tabloids.

It's THE STORY OF DIRK ("sexy Battlestar blond") BENEDICT AND RICHARD ("shy and loyal") HATCH. All completely unauthorised you understand.

Surely this must be one of the rarer bits of Battlestar print tat (unless you know better) by virtue of it being a mail order exclusive, which (like all the best things in life) wasn't available in any store.

Have you ever seen a copy? Did you mail away for the chance to see the Colonial Warriors "out of uniform"? What type of girls did they like?

  1. which mag / comic did that ad appear in ?


    Not a thing online about this so not sure if it was ever published or indeed ' captured anyone's heart. '


    with all due respect to the late Mr Hatch, I'm not sure just how much WE ( i.e. the fans ) meant to him.

  2. Dirk has written two autobiographical books, they are the best reference
