The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of STAR
TREK ANNUAL 2013 from IDW Publishing. The story and photomontage is by John
Byrne, based off characters created by Samuel R. Peeples. STAR TREK is created
by Gene Roddenberry.
The Enterprise tracks a transmission source to Delta
Vega, a planet where Captain Kirk lost his oldest friend and first officer Gary
Mitchell. Once arriving at the planet, Kirk, Spock and McCoy are forced to
relive scenes of Mitchell’s past, while the Enterprise is pushed away from the
planet’s orbit. If this is indeed the super powered Gary Mitchell, can the crew
survive a second encounter? If it’s not, who or what is it?
John Bryne did an incredible job creating a new photostory
using images from the original television series. This wasn’t a simple, place
dialogue and narration on a photo; in some cases he created a new image. The
script, which is a follow-up to the second pilot “Where No Man Has Gone
Before,” is a worthy inclusion to classic STAR TREK lore.
STAR TREK ANNUAL 2013 is in stores now, or available to
order at www.Idwpublishing.com.
