Star Trek: The Cosmic Cavemen (1973)
Issue 17 of Gold Keys’ Star Trek comic was available for February of 1973. Arnold Drake took over as writer, and Alberto Giolitti was joined by artist Giovanni Ticci. George Wilson continued delivering cool-looking cover paintings. Let’s just mention that the uniforms are almost the right colours for everyone. Kirk seems to be wearing something…

Star Trek: The Brain Shockers (1971)
The Gold Key Star Trek series continues to boldly go in this August 1971 issue.

Star Trek: The Legacy of Lazarus (1971)
Len Wein takes over writing duties for Gold Keys Star Trek title, while Alberto Giolitti continues delivering wonderful art (even if the characters and locations don’t always look the way the should).

Star Trek: The Voodoo Planet (1970)
Of all the Gold Key stories I’ve read so far, I like this one the least. It’s not very Star Trek, it’s just an issue of silliness using voodoo dolls, chants and magic potions. Not very Trek at all. The writing is once again by Dick Wood, and Alberto Giolittie continues to deliver the art…
Star Trek: When Planets Collide (1969)
Writer Dick Wood and artist Alberto Giolitti continue Gold Keys Comics journeys with the U.S.S. Enterprise with When Planets Collide. It was released for December 1969. And that had to be horrible for Trek fans. It’s December, 1969. There’s been a grand total of six issues since October 1967! The dramatic opening splash page has…
Monday Musings – Boldly Going: My Life’s Journey to The Final Frontier
I can remember a time in my life before Star War and Star Trek. There’s a few years of my childhood in the 70s that were untouched by the pop culture events that would play such a huge part in my life. But when I finally ventured to the final frontier, I was drawn into…

Captain’s log: 1 March, 2153 Mike Sussman and Phyllis Strong pen this episode that debuted on 7 May, 2003, and brings the Borg into this Trek series. Of course, they can’t be mentioned by name, because at this point in Trek chronology humanity is unaware of them, except for the people involved in the events…
