Star Trek The Classic UK Comics HC (2016-2017 IDW) The Complete Series comic books 2016

Volume 1 - 1st printing. "1969-1970!" Story and art by Harry Lindfield. Published in the U.S. for the first time! In 1969, six months before the Star Trek TV series premiered in England, British comics readers were introduced to the characters in an original comic-book series. The stories were serialized, generally 2 to 3 pages at a time, in 257 weekly magazines spanning five years and 37 storylines. These extremely rare comics have never been published in the United States. Star Trek fans will quickly note that the comics were not written with strict adherence to Star Trek's core concepts. But it's precisely that "offness" that makes them so eminently readable and deserving of a proper reprinting. They're unique in the annals of Star Trek and fans have gone without them for far too long. Hardcover, 9-in. x 11-in., 244 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $49.99.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. "1970-1972!" Story and art by Harry Lindfield. Cover by Carlos Pino and Vicente Alcazar. This second volume fills in another major gap in Star Trek lore, courtesy of these never-before reprinted comics that originally appeared in weekly British magazines in the early 1970s. There's much to love about these wonky, way-out writings and their atypical artwork. These oft-forgotten Star Trek tales represent a different era. They're lost gems with many facets and a unique perspective, an eccentric corner of Star Trek history unlike any other. These are the U.K. voyages of the starship Enterprise-and, now, at last, fans everywhere can experience them. As a special bonus, Rich Handley provides the first half of a detailed encyclopedia of all things Star Trek from these British comics. Exploring the minutiae is half the fun of enjoying a franchise, and when it comes to Trek, there's no end of trivia to devour! Hardcover, 9-in. x 11-in., 240 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $49.99.
