The Enterprise continues its journeys across galaxies (?) in Gold Key’s The Peril of Planet Quick Change. Once again the story was written by Dick Wood, and once again features art by Alberto Giolitti. It hit comic spinners on June 1969. The Enterprise interior still looks terrible and cluttered. I wish it was more in…

Star Trek: Invasion of the City Builders (1968)
Issue three of Gold Key’s Star Trek comic was available in December of 1968. That’s a ridiculous three issues in the space of over a year. Dick Wood remains on as the story’s writer, but this time out there is art by Alberto Giolitti. After some repair work on the port nacelle, referencing it as…
Star Trek: The Planet of No Return (1967)
I always love my Trek, but there are times when I just cannot get enough of it. 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…

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…

Star Trek: Spectre (1998) – William Shatner with Garfield and Judith Reeves-Stevens
William Shatner doles out another ‘Kirk is the best captain ever’ tale with the Reeves-Stevens helping him out. I make it sound like I didn’t like the book, I did, but I hate how even now, Shatner, goes out of the way to make sure that Kirk is portrayed as the smartest, strongest, most attractive…
