My Trek Posters are back! Down to the last 5! Here’s The Way to Eden — It took me a while to figure out how to present this bizarre episode; I ended up making it a 23rd century Dear Abby letter from “Edgy Ensign” to “Spocky”. I especially like Spock’s pensive look! I found the mandala design on a coloring page for moms, and added psychedelic hues, giving Dr. Severin a halo effect.

Here’s a great tidbit: A brief article in The Australian Women’s Weekly from August of 1970 — Star Trek begins global syndication and a star is born! The writer was impressed with Mr. Spock most!
The small print reads:
“STAR-TREK”
The National Nine Network’s new science-fiction series takes viewers into deep space.
“Star Trek” tells the story of the starcruiser Enterprise and her crew. Cruising in deep space, they monitor life in outer space, enforce space laws. It is an incredible ship and an incredible crew. My favorite is Science Officer Mr. Spock, right, (Leonard Nimoy). Mr. Spock is a new breed, half earthman, half planet man — one parent from earth one from the planet Vulcan. Note his pointed ears — NAN MUSGROVE
Introducing MR. SPOCK
- “Star Trek may be seen in Sydney on TC429 Thursdays, 8:30 p.m. in other capital cities later.

Gray Morrow (1934-2001)was a comic book and paperback cover artist known for Man Thing and El Diablo, but he also occasionally dabbled in Star Trek. Here’s his works from the early 70’s, including a colorized version for Monster Times (remember that?) Not sure what the obelisk represents in the second image, but these are delightfully dramatic.
Hey Kids,
Way back in March of this year, one of our readers, Reece, sent me these great stills of his 1977 Star Trek catalog form the (legendary) Federation Trading Post (FTP)– –and it’s a wonder. Reece had auctioned this catalog on eBay and sold it for $65.00! And graciously let me use these auction pictures for this post. Thanks so much, Reece, and congrats on your noteworthy sale! (See, sometimes it pays to save stuff from your childhood!)
As to the catalog itself, boy, does this take me back! Imagine, color prints (color!) for a dollar, color slides for 50 cents, buttons, bumper stickers, models, books, color slides! It’s a year-round convention huckster room! There’s even a two record album of William Shatner Live!
You see, In a pre-internet era, if you wanted Trek images, you’d have to find them at conventions or back pages of Starlog or in brochures like (Roddenberry’s) Lincoln Enterprises or this. FTP was a Trekker (and Star Wars fan) paradise. I never got a chance to see it in person, or order stuff like this, but if I did my walls would have been plastered with this stuff! (Ah the teenage mentality) However I did (and may still) own the actual full color collage poster on the front page
Looking at this makes me wonder how much of this stuff is still available to collectors today? Does anyone here have any of the Trekkie stuff buried away in their attics? I know I still have some of the original cutting floor 35mm slides that I got from a friend somewhere! If you find anything, let me know and I may just post it here! (You can contact me here) Enjoy this tasty nostalgia everyone!

Reviewing pictures of Leonard — This was a happy man. I mean, sure, we all have problems and can’t be happy all the time, but so often you can see the genuine joy Leonard possessed in many candids and portraits.
Joy at a personal appearance
He clearly loved his work, his family, his fans, and his life. His smile was infectious and images of him laughing or smiling always bring me joy!
Joyous to be Spock again in Star Trek: The Motion Picture
Happy reminiscing as a former paperboy at a Boston function. (1960’s)
Just came across a bunch of these pieces featuring pop culture characters as Egyptian hieroglyphics! Kirk is naturally the pharaoh and Spock is can truly walk like an Egyptian! This is clever in so many ways; I especially love the Gorn in the corner! You can see more of these wonders here.

Great video where the old pals recall the legend of how Bill stole Leonard’s bike on the Star Trek set. It’s so lovely to see them laughing together – Bill’s a ham as usual, but Leonard is just delightful. I wish I could have seen this when they toured together in the 1980’s. Magical. Enjoy.

A good friend of mine gave me some of her old Films in Review magazines and to my delight, I found this interview with Leonard Nimoy in one of the issues! He discusses directing Star Trek III and almost gives away the ending! Alas, the only picture they use her is Nimoy in 1/4 profile, but it’s a good interview and insight into an early directing experience for the actor. (btw, Films in Review actually blasted the movie in the August ’84 edition,
(see here) but at least they gave Nimoy a chance to talk nicely about it in the November issue.

Here’s some great production pics of Leonard with actress Charlene Whitman as guests on the series 87th Precinct. He played a mysterious murderer/con artist Barrow and she was his conflicted girlfriend, Stella, in the episode The Very Hard Sell. (1961) He’s both a jerk and a charmer here. Note: Nimoy doesn’t appear until @ 2/3rds into the episode, but he’s worth every minute.
The star of the show was none other than Robert Lansing as Detective Steve Carella, who would later play Gary Seven in Assignment: Earth. Does the detective get his man? You can see all of The Very Hard Sell here.
