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.

Gold Key Comics was an imprint of Western Publishing. It was also known as Whitman Comics.  The company began operating in 1962 and published a wide variety of comic book adaptions through 1984. Gold Key obtained the rights to print Star Trek in 1967 and continued the run until it was awarded to marvel in 1978.  These books are often overlooked or forgotten.  But they were part of the Star Trek story in the 1970s.  While they carried the show's name and included its characters, these comic adventures had very little to do with the episodes we watched in syndication in the 70s.   In fact, reading these stories is often painful.  The science is often absent from these supposed science-fiction comics.  The plots are outlandish and the characters don't behave as the characters we got to know on TV. Some will find these comic books charming or nostalgic and that's perfectly OK.  As fans of the original Star Trek, we found them difficult to take.
