Star Trek Annual 1973 (World Distributors)



After Doctor Who my other sci-fi passion is none other than Star Trek which has become a world-wide phenomenon. Starting in 1969 World Distributors started publishing Star Trek Annuals, the first being cover dated 1970 as was the usual British practice of dating them for the following year to extend their shelf lives.

This was the fourth annual which ran nearly every year until 1986 with all but two (1981 & 1983) being published by World Distributors. The other two annuals were published by Stafford Pemberton utilising the Marvel licence and adaptations of the first two movies.

All the World Distributor editions contain reprints of the Gold Key comics version of Star Trek. (The 1973 edition reprints issues #11,12 & #13)

 



And to finish, a trailer for one of the original shows. Great stuff.
