STAR TREK ASSIGNMENT EARTH #1 COMIC BOOK JOHN BYRNE NEW


STAR TREK ASSIGNMENT EARTH #1 Comic Book

HARD TO FIND COLLECTORS ITEMS FOR THE FANS OF STAR TREK!

WRITTEN AND DRAWN BY JOHN BYRNE

The first-ever Star Trek series from comic book legend John Byrne! Telling the story of the Assignment: Earth Trek spin-off from Gene Roddenberry that never came to pass, a time-traveling U.S.S. Enterprise intersects with Gary Seven's efforts to save the future from a 1969 crisis that only he and his assistant Roberta can avert! With writing, art and cover from the comics icon himself.

Star Trek: Second Stage continues, as comics icon John Byrne unveils the first-ever Star Trek series of his decades-spanning career! The 1968 TV episode 'Assignment Earth' had been the Season Two finale for the original Star Trek series, and was intended by Gene Roddenberry as the pilot for a spin-off series that never came to pass. Now, Byrne delivers the series 40 years after it would have debuted, recounting the adventures of interstellar agent Gary Seven and his Earth-born assistant as they covertly confront threats to the past so that they can save Star Trek's future. Byrne will both write and draw the series, which steps one year forward with each installment, beginning with 1968, the year that the spin-off series would have appeared.
