re: Star Trek comic nostalgia...
Aw c'mon...be kind.
They weren't that bad.
The issue that stood out to me was one where they visit a world with out of control city-builders. Paving over all the plant life. Clearly a global catastrophe! The environmental movement already had its foot in the door in the comic book industry. I actually thought those city-builders were cool inventions.
I think the artist of those comics was Italian and had never seen a Star trek episode. That would explain a lot.
