I was never able to get into the Gold Key Comics. I started reading Trek comics around 1980 or 81 with the Marvel series. Still have all of my back issues of that, and also the first DC series. The DC series was my favorite.

DC also put out a Next Generation mini-series in the late 80's that I own, but I did not enjoy it at all. My Trek interests as far as collecting and reading ended for me in 1992 with "The Undiscovered Country". That was the last tie-in novel I read all the way through. If memory servers, I did get a hard cover copy of the Generations novel as a gift, but I did not find it interesting.

Tell me about it! The Gold Key comics are what I imagine a Season 4 of TOS would have looked like, with writing so bad that almost every episode would have been of the same calibre as "Spock's Brain".

Awkward phrasing is awkward.

This is my personal literary Star Trek canon list.

This is stuff I have read, and I continue to re-read.

If it's not on the list, I did not read it, or I did not consider it worthy

of considering cannon.

This is where it all ends for me!

 

 Whatever happened to the bunny's "LOL" and his candy?

After he was diagnosed with diabetes, he no longer felt like LOLing or owning candy.

I also always enjoyed the FASA Star Trek Role Playing Game source books, and I very much considered them part of my personal Star Trek canon during the pre-Next Generation era. My role playing friends and I  did not recognize the Next Generation gaming material for the first few seasons of that show when it went on the air in the late 1980's.

This design for a TOS-era phaser rifle

is definitely going into my personal canon.

My personal Star Trek Canon consists of the following:

  • Star Trek: Enterprise
  • The Original Series
  • The Wrath of Khan
  • The Search for Spock
  • The Voyage Home
  • The Next Generation
  • Generations
  • Deep Space Nine
  • First Contact
  • Star Trek: Voyager
  • Insurrection

Any other Star Trek movie or series is just fanfiction.

Why would you exclude The Motion Picture and Undiscovered Country?

Because I find them to be boring, honestly. And I know that “boring” doesn’t automatically mean bad, but I never felt the need to take those two movies as an actual part of the story.
