Spock Must Die!

[PaulSimpson]

Urgent help required - does anyone have a copy of the original CORGI (not the Bantam) edition of this, and could scan the cover for me? My copy would need a load of work to get it usable, and I want to use that particular image, rather than the later ones, for an upcoming feature in Star Trek Magazine.

If you can help, please PM me on here or send a note to startrekmagazine@titanemail.com

Thanks

Paul

Yes!

and could scan the cover for me?

Ah, no, mine's a couple of hundred miles away, at my dad's house...

I have a copy at home, and will check later today..
just to be sure (as again, I'm not home), what does the cover look like?

It's the illustration of the two Spocks facing off on the planet surface. It's got the Corgi Star Trek header (the floating heads and the logo).

Thanks

Found it on a eBay auction.

That's the image, but I need it without the photoshoppy clever stuff - we can alter, but the idea of this is to save time.

Thanks for finding it - appreciate it

I'll check when I get home, Paul. I'm not sure which version I have.

 

[elaithin]

Sorry Paul - I've got the Bantam edition.

Sorry Paul - I've got the Bantam edition.

Ditto

 

[RonG]

Sorry Paul. I also have the Bantam edition...

 

[Pepelequoi]

I have three seperate covers, so surely one of them will be the one which you are looking for:

I hope that one of these is what you are looking for!

Those are all Bantam editions from the USA, unfortunately.

Paul's looking for a particular British edition.

 

[JB2005]

Yes i do. give me a few minutes to see if i can get my scanner working!

EDIT:

^Um, that can't be the original Corgi edition, since it has the movie-era Enterprise on it. Besides, Paul's already said that the cover he's looking for is the one linked to in post #5.

Still, that's an interesting find. It has something of the flavor of the original Bantam covers, but featuring the refit E. I wonder who the artist was.

 

[JB2005]

My mistake then! And yeah, looking at the inside pages I see now it's a reissue...oops! Sorry!

 

[Dayton Ward]

Still a cool cover though.

[Christopher]

^Right, except that Paul is looking for an image that's face-on rather than shot from an angle like that one.

 

[Dayton Ward]

Damn. And here I spent all day trying to replicate that exact angle with my phone camera.
