Fun to revisit this period of Star Trek history. Remember first reading these Marvel stories reprinted in black and white in the pages of Future Tense. Eaglemoss should be ashamed of themselves for selling this as the quality of the Marvel reprint is appalling. Some text is nearly unreadable and the overall presentation is shocking. There is absolutely no excuse for this. The Gold Key issue included, whilst six to seven years earlier is pretty well done. I’d seen several Gold Key stories reprint Fun to revisit this period of Star Trek history. Remember first reading these Marvel stories reprinted in black and white in the pages of Future Tense.

There is absolutely no excuse for this. The Gold Key issue included, whilst six to seven years earlier is pretty well done. I’d seen several Gold Key stories reprinted in old UK Star Trek annuals and this one was new to me. Silly and totally unlike the parent series. Easier to get hold of than the original issues but it may have been worth the effort to do it as this reprint makes the stories look like garbage.

Rated lower for the rather poor reproduction quality in the Marvel Comics section -- I suppose good quality film was unavailable, and that the book was assembled from whatever was available. The Gold Key issue at the end has much better reproduction, but is fairly laughable stuff - the art is generally clunky and well off-model. The presentation of the Marvel issues is disappointing, though.
Candiebarr –
ridiculous amount of spelling mistakes. half the time letters looked like other letters, dashes or underscores. Made it a great pain to read.
Sean Loone –
I agree with other reviewers on the quality of the print here. Stories sound enough and it was good to revisit the original motion picture. But the poor quality of the print spoilt it fir me.
Jeff Schmitt –
Not even sure this rates 3 stars, to be honest. Been a LOTTA years since I’ve read the original Marvel run; it’s not great. Muddy art, poor coloring, weak stories. On to the next, I suppose
