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.

Star Trek: Invasion of the City Builders (1968)

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.

Bond finds himself facing off against a terrorist organisation known as BAST who have plans to infiltrate a Russian/American/British…
Star Trek: Death Count (1992) – L.A. Graf
Sometimes a Trek book just works for me, and this one totally did. Set between The Motion Picture, and The Wrath of Khan, but featuring the new burgundy uniform jackets, the story despite featuring Kirk heavily on the cover, focuses more on Chekov, Sulu and Uhura, to my total delight. Their friendship is explored, from…
Star Trek: Ice Trap (1992) – L.A. Graf
There are times. Not often, but every now and then, that despite my love for the subject matter, I can’t get into a book. This is what happened with my latest foray in to the Star Trek novels. I loved the sound of it, I’m enjoying my time with Kirk and company as I go…
