June 1984 brought not only a new issue of DC Comics’ Star Trek series, but also saw Star Trek III hit the theaters, which means the writers would have new stories, characters, and ships to draw from for their future issues. Mike W. Barr continues to pen the story, Tom Sutton does the pencils, and…

Sometimes I just want to travel with old friends. And the oldest of those friends, are the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, Captain James T. Kirk commanding. As the Pocketbook series continued, the stories have gotten stronger, tying in with the ever-expanding franchise’s continuity. Across the Universe takes place during the original five-year mission.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)
I leave the Gold Key Treks behind… I know there are more issues to get through, but I don’t have them all yet. So it’s time to boldly go forward with Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Sadly, this will be my only entry in the Marvel Comics version of Star Trek. As of this date,…
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock – The Making of the Classic Film (2025) – John Tenuto and Maria Jose Tenuto
I have fallen in love with the Titan Star Trek books. They are informative and comprehensive in their text, and the mass of photography and production art are stunning. I have devoured the books on The Motion Picture, and The Wrath of Khan, and I was overdue to dig into The Search for Spock, despite…
Star Trek: The Next Generation – Gulliver’s Fugitives (1990) – Keith Sharee
It’s been a bit since I read a Next Gen novel, but I do like spending time with the Enterprise D and her crew. Gulliver’s Fugitives is an interesting concept, but not executed as well as it could have been and a little flawed. Troi is having some troubling visual experiences following a screening of…
