Star Trek newspaper comic strips
Over at the TrekBBS, user KirkPicard posted a link to a new site by Rich Handley offering scans of all of the Star Trek newspaper comic strips from 1979-83 and British comic strips from various publications. Several years back Pocket considered the possibility of doing a book of the US strips, but cancelled its plans because essential legal paperwork couldn't be located. Rich made available CD ROMs of this material a few years ago. Now it's all online for free.
The UK strips are similar to the early Gold Key comics -- not entirely faithful to the show, to put it mildly. The US strips, on the other hand, definitely have some worthwhile moments. And they're free. Check them out!
(This is an old scan of mine; Rich's are sharper and clearer.)

Thanks for posting this link! I just found out about these strips a few months ago (guess I was living under a rock) and have been looking for them since. Very cool Star Trek collectible oddity.
This doens't exist anymore...
Like AT ALL.
I've scoured the internet can't find any of the star trek newspaper strip stories.
Everything but...
What's going on?
DOes anyone have compies they can give me?
The US strips were published in book form by Library of American Comics in two volumes about a decade ago( they’re probably out of print. I think they were republished more recently in the Eaglemoss Star Trek comics collection but those are out of print now, too. You might want to look into the Facebook Star Treks Comics Weekly group for more info. It’s not the kind of group that shares scans, but there are some knowledgeable people there who may have pointers.
