Too many things to list? (Exhaust coming out of where the Shuttlecraft bay doors are located was a common error in early artwork of the Enterprise.) IIRC, the Gold Key comics were often done by people who had never actually seen a single TOS episode. But, they were the only Trek comics we had before 1979.

This looks like the comic that came with a little microfilm/filmstrip viewer toy I got at Kmart, only in glorious black and white.

And no, I'm not that old! They were still making the thing well into 1975, or else it was new old stock.

I was pretty pissed the story was incomplete and ended on a cliffhanger no less! There were no additional strips to found at Kmart either.

It was around this same time I saw what looked like a Mego Mr. Sulu. (Or was it Chekov?) I asked my Mom to get it, but no dice. (I had most of the figures plus the bridge playset already.) Never saw it again. So, I do have some sympathy for all the people who claim to have seen Luke throw the grappling hook twice in 1977. ;)
