Paramount Licenses Reprints of Original Gold Key TREK Comics, First Volume Due in March

Features

Paramount and Checker Book Publishing Group have announced a licensing deal for the publisher to issue new reprints of several classic STAR TREK comics.

Originally printed beginning in 1967 and running until 1979, Western Publishing produced sixty full-color issues under is Gold Key banner. The 1970s also saw newsprint paperback editions issued under the title THE ENTERPRISE LOGS.

Checker has compiled issues 1-8 in the first edition to come out of the license, set for publication in March. Writing credits on these original Kirk, Spock, McCoy and the gang stories are unknown, but they feature art from Nevio Zaccara
(1,2) and Alberto Giolitti (3-8). Later issues featured the writing talents of Len Wein,
George Kashdan and event ENTERPRISE illustrator Doug Drexler.

Checker was formed four years ago with the intent to "bring the absolute best
of dormant, unpublished, and under-published serial comics and cartooning back to
print," according to a press release.

Check out Comicon for the original release. You may pre-order the first edition reprint to support TrekWeb through Barnes & Noble.

Learn all about the original adventures at the Guide to the Gold Key STAR TREK Comics web site.

The Vulcan Zombie episode was very well done, though. If it was executed well I'd love to see the Tholian Mummies.
