Celebrating the debut of the TV show, Star Trek, which was on September 8th, 1966...
...boldly going where no man has gone before..
...with two special issues featuring the original cast in adventures set during the original series.
Star Trek #58 (Gold Key, December, 1978)
Here, in a story by
George Kashdan with art by
Al McWilliams and painted cover by
Chuck Liese, Dr. Leonard McCoy has to cure more than a cold...he has to help out a much larger patient, "The Brain Damaged Planet", as a virus was menacing a whole planet's population, via the brain at the core of the planet.
An incredible task for a man who considered himself at heart just a country doctor.
Star Trek #58 (DC Comics, March, 1994)
With this story, by
Howard Weinstein, with
Carlos Garzon on interior art and cover by
Jerome Moore, this issue started a run with a flashback on Pavel Chekov (as Chekov visited Sulu in the present day), set during the time of original mission, wherein the Enterprise was dealing with a mysterious ship bombarding a colony with lethal radiation as an old flame came back into Chekov's life.
Chekov, looking back on his life, just as, on this anniversary, Star Trek fans celebrate the original show (and all that came after).
