This was the era I grew up in, SciFi-wise on TV. And this image by Dusty Abell (full sized here<\/a>) shows off a whole gob of folks from the era. This is just beauty. <\/p>\n

\"scifi-70s-80s\"<\/p>\n

Yeah, a lot of it was crap — but it was our <\/em>crap, dagnabbit! And it was the only crap in town.<\/p>\n

Featured above (and you have to look at the full-size version, or even a still-large-but-more-readable version<\/a> to appreciate it) are (deeeep breath, and from memory) …<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wonder Woman, Man from Atlantis, Quark, Battlestar Galactica <\/em>(including male Starbuck, Apollo, a Cylon “toaster”, Imperious Leader, and Lucifer), The Six Million Dollar Man, Logan’s Run, Doctor Who <\/em>(complete with Leelah, the Robot, the Fourth Doctor, a Dalek, and K-9), Spider-Man, Planet of the Apes <\/em>(the TV series), the “blond” (Cathy Lee Crosby) Wonder Woman<\/em>, the “motorcycle helmet” Captain America, The Incredible Hulk <\/em>(both bodies), Buck Rogers <\/em>(including Buck standing on an aircraft I don’t recognize, Erin Gray, and Twiki holding the spacecraft from Land of the Giants<\/em>), Space: 1999<\/em> (Maia and Cmndr Koenig), Greatest American Hero, <\/em>and Mork <\/em>(sans Mindy).<\/p>\n

The only ones I’m not sure of are the blonde and the German Shepherd in the middle. Oh, and the silvery fellow between Steve Austin and Logan — looks like he belongs on BSG by the grouping, but I seem to think of him as a Doctor Who character.<\/p>\n

Up in the sky we have (in no particular relative scale) a Buck Rogers fighter, Quark’s garbage scow, a blue-and-red jet I recognize but can’t place, a Colonial viper (on the ground), a Moon Base Eagle, a Cylon Base Star, a shuttle craft I think is BSG but am not sure, a UFO Interceptor, with a UFO above it, and on the right Galactica herself. As mentioned earlier, I can’t tell what Buck is standing on.<\/p>\n

Extremely awesome. I would so buy a poster of this.<\/p>\n

PS. I am informed the blue ship is from Battle of the Plants (G-Force).<\/em> Not something I watched, nor was it ‘prime time’ as most of the above were.<\/p>\n
