Star Trek DC v1 No. 1 Cover by George Pérez

February 7, 2020|In General

In the US, Star Trek comics began with Gold Key and they spanned 1967–79 with tales based on the original series. With the release of Star Trek – The Motion Picture in ’79, Marvel picked up the licence and published from 1980–82.

Star Trek II – The Wrath of Khan was released in 1982, and during the run-up to Star Trek III – The Search for Spock in 1984, DC Comics acquired the comics licence which they’d hold until 1996. And they began it with a cover by their top artist George Pérez.

Here it is with new colour.
