Star Trek: The Perfect Dream (1974)
Star Trek #26 from Gold Key Comics, hit spinners in September of 1974. It featured a story by John Warner, and had art by Angelo Todaro and Alberto Giollitti, and featured another cover painting by George Wilson. And I will say this, of all the comic stories in the series so far, this one felt…
Star Trek: The Mummies of Heitius VII (1973)
November 1973 saw the next issue (21) of Star Trek from Gold Key comics. It was writte by John David Warner, and featured art by Alberto Giolitti (which is getting more inline with the series by the issue) and featured a cover painting by George Wilson. Didn’t we just have a spooky story in the…
Star Trek: The Ghost Planet (1969)
The boldly going continued for Gold Key Comics in September 1969, when The Ghost Planet was unveiled to Star Trek fans. Dick Wood continues his writing travels with the Enterprise, and Alberto Giolitti supplies the art. I remember all of the issues so far. I had them collected in The Enterprise Logs, which I read…

I’ve been listening to the scores, whistling Fred Steiner, watching Strange New Worlds, revisiting The Original Series, digging back into the novels, and it struck me… I haven’t really done much on the blog with the comics. So…
Fan Expo 2024 Day 1
It’s that time of year in Toronto again. The summer is winding down, there is the first hint of the crispness of fall in the cooling evening air, which can mean only one thing. No not pumpkin spice lattes, it’s time for the CNE, TIFF, back-to-school prep, and the gathering of geeks from all over…
Star Trek: How Much For Just the Planet? (1987) – John M. Ford
Set phasers to absurd! I dug into the next Trek Pocket Book in the series before I dive into the next Dark Tower instalment, and this one left me a little dubious. The book is basically a musical comedy, and it doesn’t always work, but it is steeped in nods to other Trek writers, classic…
