Superbly fantastic?! Looks like a ridiculously bad comic book.
Where did you read “superbly fantastic”? Apart from that you should familiarize yourself with the history of ST comics before you call these comics ridiculously bad. I’m not in the mood to do so right now but you can find a lot on the internet or here in the forum.
“Superbly fantastic” is said by Spock on the first panel on the third screen shot.
I have a collection of all the Gold Key Star Trek comics on DVD-ROM, and have to say that at least the early issues are pretty awful. The character models are often way off, colors bizarre, dialog indicating that they are in other galaxies (this is a perfect example), flames coming out of the warp engines, at least one plot where the resolution is alien genocide, etc. But it is a fun piece of ST history and there are some classics here and there.
