Rare Star Trek Photos

[Redfern]

Same here. With "The Smoke House" starting to miss occasional issues and the ads promising a lower rate, I finally subscribed. When they arrived in an envelope or even the protective brown paper sleeve, it was great, but eventually they started to mail the bare magzine with the address label glued to the cover. Argh! I hated that!

Sincerely,

Bill

I'm one of the old guys who has Starlog No. 1 on his shelf. The cover painting is fantastic. This is a web image; my own copy is in much better condition:

In '76, just about everyone compared TOS to Space: 1999--the latter thought to be the would-be usurp TOS' throne. Well, it was obvious early on that was not in the cards, but Starlog's second issue featured a painting with a very similar layout to the Trek cover, almost to suggest not only a visual continuity with covers, but a lineage of importance. In any case, here is the cover.

TREK_GOD_1,

Did the second issue have the blueprints of the Eagle Transporter in its center (the centerfold)? I have a vague memory of getting them in an issue of Starlog in the mid to late 1970s. It was the Year 2 version of the Eagle, unfortunately, with the addition monitors and panels extending from the center of the original instrument panel toward the hatch in the Command Module.


Thanks,

The pull-out blueprints were offered in Starlog #7 from August 1977--the issue's 1st major coverage of Star Wars. The four page article, "The Eagles: Their History, Uses and Construction" also served as the fold-out blueprint of the Eagle vehicle.

Wow, those are awesome! I wish I were around in the 70's to collect every issue.

TREK_GOD_1 and Maab,

That's it! Thank you. However, there is no way of unfolding those pages on that website to actually see the blueprints of the Eagle spacecraft.

Before ST:TMP was released in December 1979 I remember seeing in an issue of Starlog (Issue # 018, published in December 1978) a publicity picture of Kirk holding a cylindrical object while he was seated on the bridge. My first thought was it might be used to record the Captain's log. I'm glad they did not use it in the film, it looks like he is holding a vibrator between his legs and Uhura is looking down at it.

Here it is, it is the picture at the top in color. You may have to magnify it 4 times and then drag the picture down and to the right to see it clearly. The caption below the picture reads "Shatner is holding a new scanner.".
