How many have they done? I bought the first few but seem to have lost track.
The old comic books are online

According to Memory Alpha, there were sixty one issues published between July of '67 and February of '79.
Thanks, though I ment the reprint books. I only have a couple of the Gold Key originals, but I bought the first 4 or so of the reprint books and was wondering if I'd missed any.
Thanks. I take it they aren't going to finish it off then?
The later ones are the closest to fitting in with the series.
The early ones read like Trek as interpreted by the Soviet Union, though I still say the one with the prison asteroid reads like an actual episode, if you squint.
Joe, cross-eyed
So far I've downloaded the first 12 and I like #5 the best, although YMMV. None of them are stellar, no pun intended.
Hilarious guys!
caption contest?
I think it's cool but then I live in the United States.
I just downloaded Star Trek 01 - The Planet of No Return. Belar, the format is PDF.
As for the comic itself, the drawing is pretty poor and it's funny how in one panel they talk about the Enterprise having lasers, not phasers, but still, it's fun.
And yes, that is McCoy, Kirk and Rand.
Beanie on her head or no, I'm up for reading any comic featuring my beloved Rand. Shame I'm in the UK. I've got many of the original run of TMP era comics actually. Some of them were very good, others appallingly cheesy.
I think a comic series detailing the second 5-year mission properly with modern writers would be great fun.
If you didn't know that one of the original TOS TV series writers wrote a comic book set in TOS year 4 here it is:
IDW Year Four: The Enterprise Experiment #1
written by D.C. Fonana (and Derek Chester).

Here's one from the old Peter Pan Records days:
To paraphrase Guy from Galaxy Quest; Did any these artists actually watch the show?
IIRC, and I could be wrong, but wasn't the artist on some of these books Neal Adams (one of DC's great artist -- Superman, Batman, Green Lantern/Green Arrow). I loved these when I was four because it looked so much like the show except for the secondary characters. It may have been a rights issue and the company may have had the rights only to Shatner, Nimoy and Kelly's likeness and had to fudge the rest. In one comic, they had a green M'Ress and a blond-human Arex.
That ain't Neal Adams. Not sure who drew it, but it sure as hell ain't Neal Adams.
Because the person who did the coloring thought that giant bun of hair on her head was a hat. It's actually supposed to be her hair.

Interesting, Uhura is probably a European with an African name; or a bi-racial Euro-African with very prominant Caucasian features...or a woman who hailed from Africa and had an African name passed down from generation to generation...i.e. a different version of Charlize Theron.
....And 'Sulu' is now an Afro-Asian....
Well, even though it's different from the characters we're familiar with...but it definitely is very 'Trek-ian'...showing a very diverse future....(Even if it was somewhat un-intentional)....
