The original Star Trek TV series only lasted on network TV from 1966 to
1969. It was cancelled and the cast and
crew moved on never dreaming about what was about to happen.
The original Star Trek cast soon found lucrative work showing up at the conventions and to everyone's complete surprise Star Trek became a pop culture phenomenon.
Spotting a good thing in the making Topps Trading Card company produced a full color Star Trek trading card set (with stickers) that fans gobbled up.
The cards took images from the original series allowing Star Trek fans to relive their favorite moments.
Abrams ComicArts has just released a small hardbound book that recreates each and every card in glorious full color (including the back of each card) and the stickers-all 22.
Included with each card is an informative text piece about the particular scene shot or episode. Trust me-there are a few eye-openers!
As a special treat an exclusive set of Bonus Cards has been created just for the book. This is a 'must-have' book for any Star Trek fan. I've got mine, when are you going to get yours?
