Gold Key Archives Vol. 4, Part 1.
From haunted asteroids to weird cyborg mummies, the Star Trek Gold
Key comics are certainly very different from your normal, everyday
Trek. However, these oddball comics are loved by many fans, and it
can be a lot of fun to take a peek back at the Trek that might have
been, as envisioned by comic book writers and artists in the 60s
and 70s.
In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Bruce Gibson and Dan Gunther discuss the first three stories in The Gold Key Archives Volume 4. We talk about troubling behavior by Kirk in "The Haunted Asteroid," a spoiled rotten prince whom everyone wants to murder in "A World Gone MAD," and an ancient mystery that threatens to turn the Enterprise crew into cyborgs in "The Mummies of Heitius VII!"
In the news segment, we welcome Ben Greet, author of one of the contributions to Outside In Makes It So: 174 New Perspectives on 174 Star Trek TNG Stories by 174 Writers.
