IDW publisher Chris Ryall revealed in his blog more of their plans for their Star Trek comic book line in 2009. IDW will be publishing a trade paperback omnibus of the entire first series of Marvel Comics' Star Trek The Original Series comic books (minus the Star Trek The Motion Picture adaptation) and another trade paperback omnibus of the entire Star Trek Early Voyages comics series, featuring the adventures of Captain Christopher Pike and the Enterprise crew from The Cage.

Here is the new cover artwork from the TOS collection by artist Zach Howard, who will also be making the cover for the Early Voyages omnibus.
 
More info and a larger version of the black-and-white cover artwork can be found here.

Along with Abe Vigoda?

Why skip the TMP adaptation? It wasn't a separate special issue, it was the first three issues of the book.

Does this mean that IDW will get the original author to finish the "Early Voyages" story that was cut off halfway through?

    The Star Trek Motion Picture comics adaptation will be published in a separate trade paperback omnibus edition.

    And regarding finishing the Early Voyages storyline, it is a possibility....

      Oh...they've got the rights to all of the movie adaptations? That's a cool idea for a volume, even if I already own most of them.

    IDW announced that the first three issues of the adaptation would be in a separate collection when the omnibus for the current movie adaptation was released. At least that's what my memory seems to recall.
