Star Trek comics debuted in 1967, the same year the original television series premiered, and continued on an irregular serial schedule until 1979 under Western Publishing’s Gold Key imprint (newsprint paperback collections dubbed "The Enterprise Logs" were also offered in the 1970s). The comics feature the original Enterprise crew (Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty) in adventures available nowhere else. Eventually, sixty full-color issues will be published. Checker’s first and second collections includes issues one through sixteen, featuring art by Nevio Zaccara and Alberto Giolitti. Though writing credits on the first eight issues were not given, subsequent writers for these rare comics gems included Len Wein, George Kashdan and Doug Drexler.
