These extremely rare comics have never been published in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Star Trek<\/em> fans will quickly note that the comics were not written with strict adherence to<em> Star Trek<\/em>&#8216;s core concepts. The Enterprise frequently traveled outside our galaxy, and the crew committed many violations of the never-mentioned Prime Directive along the way. Spock shouted most of his lines and often urged Kirk (or &#8216;Kurt,&#8217; as his name was misspelled in early issues) to shoot first and ask questions later.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But it&#8217;s precisely that &#8220;offness&#8221; that makes them so eminently readable and deserving of a proper reprinting. They&#8217;re unique in the annals of <em>Star Trek<\/em> and fans have gone without them for far too long.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To pre-order <em>Star Trek: The Classic UK Comics Volume 1<\/em>, which will sell for $49.99, head to the link located <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Star-Trek-Classic-UK-Comics\/dp\/1631405128\/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1447262388&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=Trek%3A+The+Classic+UK+Comics\/Trektoday\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Next March, the first volume of classic UK Star Trek comics will make its debut&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":42133,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2456],"tags":[8692,5432],"class_list":["post-42132","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-books","tag-star-trek-the-classic-uk-comics-volume-1","tag-uk"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/StarTrekComic111115.gif",580,225,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/StarTrekComic111115-150x150.gif",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/StarTrekComic111115.gif",580,225,false],"medium_large":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/StarTrekComic111115.gif",580,225,false],"large":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/StarTrekComic111115.gif",580,225,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/StarTrekComic111115.gif",580,225,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/StarTrekComic111115.gif",580,225,false],"newsphere-slider-full":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/StarTrekComic111115.gif",580,225,false],"newsphere-featured":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/StarTrekComic111115.gif",580,225,false],"newsphere-medium":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/StarTrekComic111115.gif",580,225,false]},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/books\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Books<\/a>","tag_info":"Books","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42132","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42132"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42132\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42134,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42132\/revisions\/42134"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42132"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42132"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
