The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, low-res pixel style!

Douglas Adams’ wonderful stories have entertained me for many years. I’ve been reading the DC comic series from the 90s, it’s a good adaptation! But then there are so many adaptations, aren’t there? Radio to books to TV to the film. Here is the main cast of characters ie. the Heart of Gold gang plus Slartibartfast, from the three versions of the story in visual media. Then, a bonus fourth picture for other “main characters” that are only in non-visual stories.

1. From the 80s BBC TV series: Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox, Trillian, Marvin, Slartibartfast.

2. The same, from the 90s DC comic series.

3. The same, from the 00s film.

4. Lintilla (a character exclusive to the latter half of the radio show’s second phase, which covers a story never adapted; I based the depiction on fanart by Nick Page), Fenchurch (from the fourth book and radio series; I based this on her brief cameo in the TV series), Random Dent (from the fifth book and radio series; I based this on official promo art for the sixth radio series by Trystan Mitchell).
