RECOMMENDED READING: GOLD KEY STAR TREK SPECTACULAR from IDW...

IDW have just released this 100 page Super Spectacular
reprinting GOLD KEY STAR TREK tales from the 1960s
and '70s.  It's a neat little package, no doubt intended to whet
the appetites of fans for the Gold Key Archive editions, the
first of which was released in 2014 and are still ongoing.
(This mag reprints Gold Key issues #s 1, 8 & 14.)

It's reassuring to know that we Brits weren't the only ones
to get things wrong with our home-produced Star Trek strips
when we first started publishing them;  Gold Key were also 'off-
model' from the TV series in several ways with their attempts
to cash-in on GENE RODDENBERRY's 'space western',
as is detailed in an essay by JERRY BERENATO.

A great item for all Star Trek and Gold Key fans, killing,
as it does, two birds with the one stone.  Available now from
FORBIDDEN PLANET and all good comics shops.
