Summary
From a 1984 flyer:
Serina's death left a void in Apollo's life, and a close friend accused him of seeking death. Then Sheba died -- and Apollo left on a mission from which he never returned. What happened to Apollo? And why does Starbuck, alone of those who loved him, refuse to believe he is dead? APOLLO'S ODYSSEY chronicles Captain Apollo's adventures following the events of the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA episode, "The Hand of God."
Authors' Introduction
This special issue of "Purple and Orange?" represents one possible answer to the mystery of Captain Apollo's fate between the events chronicled in "The Hand of God," the final episode of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, and those detailed in "The Return of Starbuck," the final episode of GALACTICA 1980.There are those who would tell us Apollo died some time during that interval. Many of these same people would also say Starbuck died on the planet he named for himself, following the second "death" of the Cylon centurion he called Cy. "Purple and Orange?" does not — indeed, cannot — agree with these individuals, and we offer another — far more plausible, far more palatable — explanation of the Captain's fate. His family and friends may believe him to be dead, but...
We hope that you, our readers, will agree with us.
