Editorial Reviews

Review

Checker Book Publishing has shown that there is no school like the old school. They were smart enough to compile a very old Star Trek series of comics that were first printed in the late sixties, when the original television series was still on the air and at its peak. Mark Rollins --Associated Content

Product Description

Star Trek comics from Gold key Comics debuted in 1967, the same year the original television series premiered, and continued on an irregular serial schedule until 1979. (News print paperback collections dubbed The Enterprise Logs were also offered in the 1970s). The comics feature the original Enterprise crew (Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty et al) in adventures available nowhere else.

5.0 out of 5 stars What if Irwin Allen produced Star Trek?, September 29, 2004
You have to view this set of comics with the above title in question. Remember Lost in Space, Land of the Giants and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea producer Irwin Allen? That's exactly the kind of stories you get like "Planet of Quick Change". There's one where the Enterprise crew members see "Mummies" from outer space in a future edition. They are fun to read because they are so low tech. For lack of a better term they are one of those guilty pleasures that kept me interested in the series long after it left the air. While I knew at the time they were not accurate to the series; they were still fun to read.

4.0 out of 5 stars An affordable means of owning and reading these stories, July 19, 2008
Collecting the first eight issues of the Gold Key Star Trek comic book series, this trade paperback certainly is an affordable means of owning and reading these stories. There wasn't much in the way of explanation, however, for anyone new to these comics.

The trade is well produced. I have to imagine the artwork looks better here than it did originally, at least as far as the coloring goes. I would also imagine any modern reader, whether they were familiar with Star Trek or not, would find the stories at least a little odd. Personally, I think the historical nature of these comics out weighs any shortcomings, not unlike the Golden Age comics I have read.

Unfortunately, there's little explanation for newcomers as to why the Gold Key series is so different from any other Star Trek comic book or television series. A little online research revealed the artist who drew issues #3-8, Alberto Giolitti, had never seen the television series and only had publicity photos to use as references. I don't know if the more recent volumes have more background information, but more facts and figures would be helpful. For instance, did the artists inject ideas like flame bursting from the nacelles, and the Enterprise flying VERY close to the ground, or were they drawing whatever the unknown writers told them to draw?

Having said that, I still look forward to reading and reviewing the rest of this fine series.
