Funny, odd, amazing things in the ST Comics

Facebook just reminded me that eight years ago, I bought this via eBay:
Comic art Andorian by Ian McLean, on Flickr
Original full-page art for a Marvel "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" comic that never happened. This was for a storyline called "Operation Seastrike", with art by Rod Whigham & Philip Moy, and signed by Rod Whigham. That's an Andorian about to ambush Dr Bashir, of course. This art caused great excitement amongst my Andorian toys when it arrived!

When the Gold Key comics were being published in Brazil, they managed to slip in two original, very rare issues (#4 & 5):
You can read more about them here and here (in Portuguese).

Indeed, that is where I read about these.
That shuttle launch is 100% from the old Dinky Toys USS Enterprise, which featured a drop bay for shuttles which doubled as a stand.
Cats invade!
One of my favourite Trek comics. A two-parter entitled "Double Blind". The cover of Part 2 is deliberately misleading:

Fish aliens in water suits!
Thats actually a very good idea.
Man, I love Dan Spiegle. One of my favorite Trek comics artists. He's great with the likenesses and those aliens are really cool.

Internal art from "The Time Trap" by Ian McLean, on Flickr (page from The Official Guide).
And... proposed "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" alien. A "marine person from Vega" (inspired from the TAS alien - helmet filled with water) by Robert Fletcher. (The Vegans later became Rhaandarites. The striated forehead went to the K'Normians.)

That was Tristian Jones, he worked on Dark Horses's other Alien titles. The ones I did were delivered in sketch form and between when I did the sketches and when the were delivered...the project was cancelled. So for fun last year and this I actually took the stretches and created the final product.
I do love that Captain Kirk has a Romulan daughter thanks to that Chris Claremont comic.

Chris Claremont, not Peter David.
Is there an in-story reason why it's so dark throughout the Enterprise? Or why Spot was left on the ship with the self-destruct sequence engaged?
Really, I knew that but I was thinking of New Frontier and must have sent the wrong signal to my hands.
They didn't evacuate spot in Generations. Those cold hearted [Klingon curse].
In the game, one of the escape pods had Spot in it
I actually had a letter in the DC Comics' lettercol about that. He survived the days after the crash of the saucer by feasting on... Livingston (who was not seen on the "Enterprise-E").
