Star Trek Comic Book Advertisement – Nov 1984
The old Blue Devil advertisement I ran the other day seemed to be well-received. So I decided to feature another old comic book ad today. Here is a Star Trek comic book advertisement (November 1984) from DC comics. This particular ad ran shortly after Star Trek III: The Search for Spock hit the theaters. I’ve always wanted to read the mid-80’s DC comics Star Trek issues; I understand they were pretty good. Final thought, look at the art in this advertisement. It looks great!
They are pretty good — I’m up to issue 20 of DC’s first series. The quality drops a bit after Mike Barr leaves, but I am hoping it will pick up again after some fairly weak, standalone “character” stories. The other thing I like about the series (at least, so far), is that, even after ST III, they kept modeling Saavik after Kirstie Alley (who, as Saavik, was pretty attractive!)
“The quality drops a bit after Mike Barr leaves.” While true, this is not a sentence I would ever have expected to read anywhere.
I’m up to issue #8 in my daily Trek stripping schedule myself.
Anyone know if there are collected editions out there?
Scratch that. I just broke down and bought the first 20 issues from Mile High Comics. They were cheap and Mile High is offering an additional 30% off. Sweet!
I know the Mirror Universe arc has been collected, but you’re covered.
i have a feb 1984 collectors issue and and some 1966/67 los angeles magazine weeklys featuring kirk and spock on the front pages
