STAR TREK WEEK: A Ship of the Star Fleet


     This, from the opening pages of Gold Key's Star Trek #1, would have been the only bit of introduction to a reader unfamiliar with Trek.  Written like an Easy Reader version of the spoken introduction of the show,  I imagine hearing it in Chekov's voice...





     Yes, all the thousands of crewmen.  I mean, we all know the original NCC-1701 had a crew complement of approximately 430, right?   What sort of fact checkers did Gold Key employ?  Piss-poor ones, it would seem. 




     And a special bonus today, a pin-up--suitable for printing and framing-- of Captain Kirk, either hosting The Price is Right, or whitening his teeth, I'm not really sure.





     Tomorrow cometh the Marvel Adventures!
