The names of writers and artists, if known, are in parentheses (writer[s]; artist[s]; cover artist[s]). My apologies to colorists and letterers, whose names aren't included. I hope to add them to a future version of the checklist, along with stardates. If a noteworthy character or event from a television episode or movie appears in a comic, the title of the episode or film appears in parentheses ("Where No Man Has Gone Before"). Part 9 contains a section on comics which parody Star Trek and are intended for mature readers. Some people may be offended by the titles of these comics. The most recent version of the checklist is archived on the web at http://www.faqs.org/faqs/star-trek/comics-checklist/part1/ Comments, corrections, and updates are welcome. Please include the words "Star Trek" in the subject line, otherwise your message will probably be trashed by the spam filter at my ISP. ------------------------------ Subject: Table of Contents Subjects with new or updated material are marked with an asterisk * Part 1: Introduction Subject: Administrivia * Subject: Table of Contents * Subject: Brief Publishing History * Subject: Frequently Asked Questions * Subject: Seldom and Never Asked Questions * Subject: Copyright Notice Part 2: Star Trek comics, 1967-1988 Subject: [Gold Key Comics] Star Trek * Subject: [Gold Key Comics] Star Trek (collections) Subject: [Power Records] Star Trek Book & Record Set Subject: [Peter Pan Records] Star Trek Book & Record Set Subject: [Marvel Comics] Star Trek (movie adaptation) Subject: [Pocket Books] Star Trek (movie adaptation) * Subject: [Marvel Comics] Star Trek Subject: [Marvel Comics] Star Trek (collections) Subject: [DC Comics] Star Trek (first series) Subject: [DC Comics] Star Trek Annuals (first series) Subject: [DC Comics] Star Trek (movie adaptations) Subject: [DC Comics] Star Trek Who's Who Subject: [DC Comics] Star Trek (collections) Subject: [DC Comics] DC Sampler (monthly promotional comic) Subject: Copyright Notice Part 3: Star Trek comics, 1989-1996 Subject: [DC Comics] Star Trek (second series) Subject: [DC Comics] Star Trek Annuals (second series) Subject: [DC Comics] Star Trek Specials Subject: [DC Comics] The Modala Imperative (25th anniversary mini-series) Subject: [DC Comics] Star Trek (movie adaptations) Subject: [DC Comics] Star Trek (graphic novels) Subject: [DC Comics] Star Trek (collections) Subject: [DC Comics] Direct Currents (monthly promotional comic) Subject: Copyright Notice Part 4: Star Trek: The Next Generation comics, 1988-1996 Subject: [DC Comics] Star Trek: The Next Generation (mini-series) Subject: [DC Comics] Star Trek: The Next Generation Subject: [DC Comics] Star Trek: The Next Generation Annuals Subject: [DC Comics] Star Trek: The Next Generation Specials Subject: [DC Comics] The Modala Imperative (25th anniversary mini-series) Subject: [DC Comics] Deep Space Nine/The Next Generation (mini-series) Subject: [DC Comics] Shadowheart (mini-series) Subject: [DC Comics] Ill Wind (mini-series) Subject: [DC Comics] Star Trek: The Next Generation (movie adaptations) Subject: [DC Comics] Star Trek: The Next Generation (collections) Subject: [DC Comics] Direct Currents (monthly promotional comic) Subject: Copyright Notice Part 5: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine comics, 1993-1995 Subject: [Malibu Comics] Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Limited Edition Preview Subject: [Malibu Comics] Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Subject: [Malibu Comics] Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Annuals Subject: [Malibu Comics] Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Specials Subject: [Malibu Comics] Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Celebrity Series Subject: [Malibu Comics] Hearts and Minds (mini-series) Subject: [Malibu Comics] Deep Space Nine/The Next Generation (mini-series) Subject: [Malibu Comics] The Maquis: Soldier of Peace (mini-series) Subject: [Malibu Comics] The Malibu Sun (monthly promotional comic) Subject: [Comic Shop News] Comics Debut Subject: Copyright Notice Part 6: Star Trek comics, 1996-1998 Subject: [Marvel Comics] Star Trek: Collector's Preview * Subject: [Marvel Comics] Star Trek: Unlimited Subject: [Marvel Comics] Star Trek/X-Men Subject: [Marvel Comics] Star Trek: First Contact (movie adaptation) Subject: [Marvel Comics] Star Trek: Operation Assimilation Subject: [Marvel Comics] Star Trek: Mirror, Mirror Subject: [Marvel Comics] Star Trek: Telepathy War Subject: [Marvel Comics] Star Trek: Untold Voyages (mini-series) Subject: [Marvel Comics] Star Trek: The Next Generation/X-Men: Second Contact Subject: [Marvel Comics] Star Trek: The Next Generation: Riker Subject: [Marvel Comics] Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Subject: [Marvel Comics] Star Trek: Voyager Subject: [Marvel Comics] Star Trek: Voyager -

The publication history of Star Trek comics can be divided into distinct eras by publisher. Gold Key Comics published 61 Star Trek comics from July 1967 to February 1979. The early issues bear little resemblance to the television series and were published on an irregular schedule. The first nine issues have photo covers. At times, reprints were used to fill out the publishing schedule. 35 issues were reprinted in four oversize paperback volumes as "The Enterprise Logs". Paramount pulled the Gold Key license shortly before the first film was scheduled for release. The release of "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" ushered in the first Marvel Comics era. Marvel published a movie adaptation and 18 issues beginning in December 1979. Marvel's Star Trek comics didn't sell very well and the series was cancelled in February 1982. DC Comics purchased the Star Trek comics franchise and began publishing in February 1984, following the release of "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan". DC's first Star Trek series produced 56 issues, three annuals, two movie adaptations, a two-issue Who's Who reference, and a six-issue mini-series introducing Star Trek: The Next Generation to comics. In November 1988, DC stopped publishing Star Trek comics, revamped and renewed their licensing agreement, and began anew in the fall of 1989 after the release of "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier". For six years, DC published Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation comics. Each series produced 80 issues, six annuals, several movie adaptations, mini-series, and special issues. Two Star Trek graphic novels were also published. DC Comics lost their license to publish Star Trek comics in December 1995. The first Star Trek graphic novel, "Debt of Honor", was originally published in hardcover and reprinted in trade paperback. DC also published and reprinted several collections of Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation comics. Most remain in print and may be found in new and used bookstores in addition to comic shops. In the summer of 1993, Malibu Comics acquired a license to publish comics based on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Malibu published 32 issues, two annuals, three mini-series, including a DS9/TNG crossover, created jointly with DC, and several special issues. Malibu brought new marketing techniques to Star Trek comics, publishing several comics with foil-enhanced covers, photo covers, and a hologram cover. The enhanced issues are probably of interest only to completists. Marvel re-entered the Star Trek universe via the back door by acquiring Malibu Comics in November 1994. In 1995, Star Trek: Voyager comics, based on Paramount's fourth Star Trek televison series, were scheduled to join Star Trek: Deep Space Nine in Malibu's line-up, but never materialized. Malibu lost their license to publish Star Trek comics in December 1995. Marvel Comics and Paramount Pictures launched a line of Star Trek comics in Fall 1996, the 30th anniversary of the original series. Marvel produced 93 Star Trek comics, publishing stories from the first four television series. Two new series featuring Captain Pike's Enterprise and Nog's Starfleet Academy classmates were introduced. Also published were one-shots, including a movie adaptation, a look at the Mirror universe, Romulan first contact with the Borg, and crossovers with Marvel's X-Men. In 1998, Marvel experienced financial turmoil and gave up their license by mutual consent with Paramount, unfortunately leaving some unfinished story arcs. In 1999, Wildstorm Comics, an imprint of DC Comics, acquired the license for Star Trek comics. Wildstorm chose not to publish any ongoing series, focusing on mini-series and one-shots, giving them more flexibility to bring in new creators with science fiction backgrounds. Wildstorm published 29 comics, including two hardcover graphic novels and three collections of their one-shots and mini-series. Wildstorm also participated in the Deep Space Nine relaunch, a continuation of the DS9 saga in print, orchestrated by Pocket Books. In July 2001, Wildstorm announced that their Star Trek comics were not performing well and publication plans were scaled back. Wildstorm didn't renew their contract with Paramount. Perhaps the television series "Enterprise" will generate some renewed interest for Star Trek comics. ------------------------------ Subject: Frequently Asked Questions Since this checklist is archived at the FAQ web site, I thought I'd add a few FAQs just for kicks. 1) How much is my Star Trek comic worth? Nine out of ten questions sent to me are about the value of a particular comic. I always recommend consulting a current price guide. Your local comic shop will have a guide, or you can look at an online price guide (see part 9 of the checklist). The accurate, but unsatisfying, answer is that your comic is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Price guides base their valuation on comics in near mint or better condition. Comic shops won't purchase your comic at these values. If they did, they wouldn't be in business long. If you want to sell your comic, take a look at Ebay to get an idea what people are asking and getting for Star Trek comics, otherwise, enjoy your comic, pass it on to somebody when you're done, and let them worry about value. 2) Are there any new Star Trek comics coming? This article is infrequently updated and won't have the latest information about new publications. At the moment, no publisher has expressed interest in publishing new Star Trek comics. From DreamWatch and TrekWeb: Veteran Star Trek guest actor and author J.G. Hertzler (Martok in ST:DS9) is in discussion with Paramount about a series of graphic novels featuring the Klingon Empire. Hertzler would like to involve comic book artist David Mack in the project. http://trekweb.com/stories.php?aid=3fa2ae3883d75 Star Trek: The Gold Key Collection, Volume 1. ISBN 0974166448 Checker Book Publishing Group announced plans to reprint the Gold Key Star Trek comics in trade paperback format, beginning in Mar 2004 with the first eight issues. http://www.checkerbpg.com/12_01_03.html Star Trek: New Frontier - After the fall, by Peter David, due out in hardcover Oct 2004, may also include a CD-ROM, and may include Mr. David's New Frontier comic "Double Time". http://www.psiphi.org/cgi/upc-db/X000000204.html 3) Got Star Trek comics? To find a comic shop near you, call the Comic Shop Locator Service at 1-888-COMICBOOK (1-888-266-4226) or go to http://csls.diamondcomics.com/ If you're looking for Star Trek comics, go to your local comic shop and ask for Star Trek comics. Browse the sales bins too. You can also search the catalogs of online comic shops. For the fiscally adventurous, try eBay (see the next subject for a discussion about buying comics on eBay). ------------------------------ Subject: Seldom and Never Asked Questions Some SNAQs to consume with your FAQs. 1) What Star Trek comics do you recommend reading? These are some of the notable comics, either for the story (good, bad, or unusual), the writer, the series, or just because. This is a very subjective list. There are many more fine Star Trek comics. - Gold Key Comics, Star Trek #1, the most expensive - DC Comics Star Trek #9-16, first series, by Mike Barr, the Mirror universe saga - DC Comics Star Trek #19, first series, by Walter Koenig - DC Comics Star Trek #51, first series, by Peter David, where Kirk encounters Berke Breathed's Bloom County crew of the good ship Enterpoop - DC Comics Star Trek Annual #1, second series, by George Takei and Peter David - DC Comics, Star Trek, Debt of Honor, by Chris Claremont - DC Comics, Star Trek, Ashes of Eden, by William Shatner, Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens - DC Comics, Star Trek: TNG Annual #1, by John DeLancie - DC Comics, Star Trek: TNG Special #2, "Spot's day", by Diane Duane - Malibu Comics, Star Trek: DS9 #29-30, "Enemies & allies", by Mark Paniccia and Tim Russ, another Mirror universe story - Malibu Comics, Star Trek: DS9 Celebrity Series, by Mark Lenard - Malibu Comics, Star Trek: DS9 Celebrity Series, by Aron Eisenberg and Mark Paniccia - Malibu Comics, Star Trek: DS9, Hearts and Minds #1, for the hologram cover - Marvel Comics, Star Trek/X-Men, by Scott Lobdell, for the audacity of the whole thing - Marvel Comics, Star Trek: Unlimited, by Dan Abnett and Ian Edginton, series featuring TOS and TNG stories - Marvel Comics, Star Trek: Early Voyages, by Dan Abnett and Ian Edginton, series featuring Captain Pike - Marvel Comics, Star Trek: Operation Assimilation, where Romulans meet the Borg - Marvel Comics, Star Trek: Mirror, Mirror, where we learn how Spock dealt with Kirk - Marvel Comics, Star Trek: DS9, Nobody knows the tribbles I've seen, where we hear some tall tribble tales - Wildstorm Comics, Embrace the wolf, where Data returns as Sherlock Holmes - Wildstorm Comics, The Gorn crisis, by Kevin J. Anderson - Wildstorm Comics, Forgiveness, by David Brin 2) Have characters from the animated series appeared in Star Trek comics? Although there has never been a comic book series featuring the crew of the animated Enterprise, characters from ST:TAS have occasionally appeared in comics from several publishers. - Power Records, PR-25 Passage to Moauv Lt. M'ress is distinctly humanoid rather than felinoid, with black hair arranged in the traditional TOS beehive, blue skin, and green eye shadow. - DC Comics, Who's Who in Star Trek #1-2 Biographical entries for Lt. Arex and Lt. M'ress appear in this series. - DC Comics, Star Trek #37, 39, 40, 46-53, 55, first series Lt. Arex and Lt. M'ress join the crew of the Enterprise NCC-1701A as navigator and assistant science officer respectively. In ST #49 M'ress tells Sulu "You're so sexy when you're being efficient" and in ST #51 Sulu is concerned about where their relationship is heading, while M'ress just wants to fool around. - Marvel Comics, Star Trek: The Early Voyages #1, 12, 16, 17 Captain Robert April appears in the first issue of this series and again later as an admiral. - LA Times Syndicate, Star Trek comic strip 3/2/1982-7/17/1982 The Kzinti, a race of felines created by science fiction author Larry Niven are featured adversaries in this story arc. 3) How many authorized Star Trek comics have been published? The Star Trek comics count is 528 and holding. The count excludes limited edition variants, ashcans, previews, collections, US comic strips, UK comic strips, and reprints not part of a monthly series.

On any given day, there are several hundred Star Trek comics items up for auction on eBay. Try this simple search for Star Trek comics: http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll? cgiurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2F&krd=1&from=R8&MfcISAPICommand=G etResult&ht=1&SortProperty=MetaEndSort&query=%22star+trek%22+%2Bcomic* You can find everything from single issues to complete runs of a series. If you're patient, you can probably find every item in this checklist. The only comics that routinely fetch uncomfortably high prices are the early Gold Key comics. While prices are generally reasonable, don't forget that auction prices can grow quickly. You also have to pay for shipping, handling, and insurance. Purchasing the comics you want is mostly a matter of not thinking with your mouse. Read the buyer help pages at eBay to learn how to practice safe bidding. First time buyers should spend some time watching auctions. Learn what you can expect to pay for the comics you want. When you register for an account, you can setup watch lists and email alerts. eBay will let you know when something of interest is being auctioned. Read the fine print before you bid. Make sure that the seller accepts a type of payment you're comfortable with and is willing to ship with insurance. Once you start bidding, keep in mind that you don't have to win every auction. The supply of Star Trek comics is high and demand is low. If you don't win an auction, the comic you want will usually turn up again. Item descriptions may indicate that the item is rare. Don't believe everything you read. Real rarities are uncommon. Good luck bidding. 5) Where can I discuss Star Trek comics online? TrekBBS Trek Literature forum http://www.trekbbs.com/threads/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=UBB17 Psi Phi Star Trek Books BBS http://www.comicboards.com/psiphiboards/startrek/ 6) What happened to that Star Trek comic? The Star Trek comics that never were. A number of authorized Star Trek comics projects never made it into print. Where possible, references are provided. - In 1995, a two-issue adaptation of Voyager's pilot episode "Caretaker", written by Mike Barr with artwork by Rob Davis and Terry Pallot was completed for Malibu but never published. Some price guides list both issues. - Editorial commentary in the letters section of Marvel's Voyager mini-series "Splashdown" hinted at a ST:TAS special featuring Arex and M'ress which was never published. - Writers Andy Mangels and Michael Martin had several projects in the works when Marvel gave up the Paramount Comics license: a DS9 mini-series and special, a Voyager fill-in, and a 48-page Star Trek: Realities #1 that was pencilled, to name a few. They pitched a tie-in to their novel, Section 31: Rogue, to Wildstorm which was turned down. Mr. Mangels has discussed his comics work on the Trek BBS literature forum and keeps a page of comics information updated at his web site. http://www.andymangels.com/stcomics.html - Writers Dan Abnett and Ian Edginton also had a Star Trek: Realities story ready to be pencilled by Mike Collins, set in a timeline where Edith Keeler, from TOS episode "The Guardian of Forever", survives. - The 1997 Collector's Preview from Marvel (see part 6) mentions Star Trek: Phase 3 as a new title "coming soon". - Peter David, writer of stuff, mentioned in his blog that there was an aborted New Frontier comic with a visit to the Mirror universe. http://peterdavid.malibulist.com/gmlog/00000587.html - Rich Handley wrote an article about Star Trek comic strips (summarized in part 9) and began work on collecting them in a book. More information can be found at Steve Roby's Complete Star Trek Library on the Lost Books page. http://www.well.com/user/sjroby/lostbooks.html - Although they aren't really lost, most of the Star Trek comic strips published in UK comics magazines have never been collected or published in the US. 7) Didn't I read that in a Star Trek novel? Characters and events from Star Trek comics occasionally find their way into Star Trek novels and vice versa. Writers who work in both mediums are usually the perpetrators. Fortunately, readers of Star Trek literature usually catch them in the act and full confessions are routine. Peter David.
