Starship Design from John Byrne's Crew Comic Book Mini Series

Features

By GustavoLeao / 10:12, 2 August 2008 / Trek Books

Legendary writer/artist John Byrne posted at his message boards a few of the starship designs he has been working on for the upcoming Crew comic book mini series from IDW.

"The story follows one particular character from cadet to lieutenant, and not all aboard the Enterprise, or even cruisers." Byrne revealed. The story will apparently feature characters from the Christopher Pike era, including Captain Robert April, the first captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise (you can see Byrne's sketch of April here).

For more starship artwork from Byrne regarding the Crew mini series, go to  this post.

The top view reminds me of a cross between a Constitution and Excelsior class. Interesting design....

"Life's tough. It's tougher if you're stupid." -- John Wayne



"In the counsels of Government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the Military Industrial Complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals so that security and liberty may prosper together." --Dright D. Eisenhower Farewell Address, 1961



"Frank O'Connor, the Irish writer, tells in one of his books how, as a boy, he and his friends would make their way across the countryside, and when they came to an orchard wall that seemed too high and too doubtful to try and too difficult to permit their voyage to continue, they took off their hats and tossed them over the wall--and then they had no choice but to follow them. This Nation has tossed its cap over the wall of space, and we have no choice but to follow it. Whatever the difficulties, they will be overcome. Whatever the hazards, they must be guarded against...."

" -- John F. Kennedy 21 November, 1963

long wait for this! I would love to read about the adventures of Captain April. I wonder if Byrne will incorporate anything from Enterprise, or just ignore the whole series and focus on stuff leading into TOS?

My bets are on the latter.
