Summary[]
- From the back cover
- Star Trek comics have enjoyed almost continuous publication since 1967, spanning more than 1,000 comics. Quality has varied, from hilariously off the mark to wonderfully reverential. But from one era to the next, Star Trek comics have not only lived long, but prospered.
- NEW LIFE AND NEW CIVILIZATIONS examines the long history of Star Trek in the four-color realm, featuring insightful essays from popular Trek comic scribes and novelists, as well as other experts.
