Star Trek: Vulcan’s Heart (1999) – Susan Shwartz, and Josepha Sherman
Vulcan’s Heart is a pretty expansive story, and a good one, even if it felt a little overlong at times. Set in the 2340s, the novel ties in a number of classic episodes into one tale. There is The Enterprise Incident from The Original Series, and The Next Generation episodes Yesterday’s Enterprise and the Unification…
Star Trek: The Youth Trap (1970)
In September of 1970, Dick Wood and Alberto Giolitti delivered issue number eight of the Gold Keys Comics Star Trek series.

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…
