This edition collects the remaining tales from the British Star Trek comic strips of the early 1970s. Occupying the distant reaches of the Trek franchise are some rather bizarre stories, but when it comes to sheer silliness and off-the-wall depictions of the Enterprise crew, nothing holds a candle to the U.K.-exclusive strips. These quirky tales were unlike others offered in the Trek universe, yet they had an undeniable charm. The bulk of the tales, collected by IDW’s Library of American Comics imprint as The Classic UK Comics—The Complete Series Volume One and Volume Two, were presented in Star Trek Graphic Novel Collection volumes 10, 20, and 29.

This volume will feature the storylines from Valiant and TV21 issues #43-118, as well as the 1972 and 1973 TV21 Annuals, the 1972 Valiant Summer Special, the 1978 Mighty TV Comic Annual, and the 1979 TV Comic Annual. Also included will be a one-page Trek strip from a 1970 issue of Radio Times magazine, plus a gorgeous gallery of Star Trek-themed covers. The Enterprise crew sometimes speak out of character in these stories, and the terminology and technology vary from what you might be used to onscreen, but the strips have a uniquely British feel that makes them undeniably enjoyable.
