I've been reading the 50 Year Mission and they mention that a Trek Newspaper comic ran in the US in the early 80s that they describe as being well done (they also mention and earlier one from Europe that was not as good). Does anyone know if this run has ever been collected in Trade form? I would be interested in reading it. Thanks.

Yes, in two hardcover volumes:

There's also a collection of the English comic strips in the works, though only Volume 1 is out yet.

Fascinating.
If any lesser person than CLB had chimed in on this, I'd have counted the notion of a ST newspaper comic as being in the same category as 19th century ST dime novels, 1930s ST film serials and radio broadcasts, and the ever-popular "Requiem for a Martian."

Thanks Christopher!
Heck, all I did was link to the ordering pages. There are plenty of other members of this BBS who actually own the books; I haven't been able to afford them yet myself.
"Requiem for a Martian" is a real thing. Totally.
Everything else is apocryphal.
