A 55th ANNIVERSARY SALUTE: Strange new worlds, indeed…

Star Trek, the greatest sci-fi franchise in the history of humankind — and I will not entertain dissent — debuted 55 years ago on Sept. 8, 1966.

We’ve posted quite a bit about Gene Roddenberry’s original series over the years but this time out we’re doing something I can’t believe we haven’t done before (though we came close once): 13 COMPLETELY BONKERS GOLD KEY STAR TREK COVERS, mostly by the great George Wilson and intentionally omitting the early photo covers. (The comics series ran from 1967 to 1979.)

Oh, and go watch Amok Time tonight: It’s our No. 1 pick for the TOP 13 STAR TREK EPISODE COUNTDOWN. (Click here for the complete list.)

Energize.
