Gold Key's Star Trek comics seemed like they were produced by bored hacks who had very little interest in the actual source material. They were sort of generic science fiction stories that just happened to be called Star Trek. Sometimes you wondered if the guys writing and drawing these things had actually seen the show, or if they were just working off a couple of dog-eared publicity photos for reference. Even Young Dave could tell these comics bore only a passing resemblance to the Star Trek TV show.I have one where the Enterprise is at a Starbase and the ship is balanced precariously on the secondary hull belly, with the hangar bay doors open and a ramp leading down as the main gangway. I don't remember the story, but that image has stuck with me.
Searches Google Images...Found it. I don't know if I still have it. Probably not.

Hey! I have that issue too! Plus another one. I also have a few early Star Wars comics (#14, 15 and 16) plus the first two issues to Battlestar Galactica (all from the 70s).
Cool. I have a couple of old Star Wars comics, but no Battlestar Galactica.
