Hilarious in it’s ridiculous. The writers were familiar with sci fi tropes but absolutely nothing about Star Trek. Starts out fun and amusing. Gets a bit reprieve towards the end. And hard to handle how willing the are to just kill people. Very not Kirk or Spock of them. But interesting in its bizarreness and the art is honestly fairly quality throughout for the Star Trek cast

The beginning of the book helps prepare the reader, explaining the background of these comics printed in the UK. Some of them are rather comedic. Clearly, the writers didn’t get a chance to watch much Star Trek, especially early on. Other stories, while they had their quirks, are on par with their Spock’s Brain episode.
I wouldn’t recommend this as an example of fun ST stories outside the TV medium. In fact, if not for the ST connection, I would not have finished. It is an interesting intellectual look at how someone in the UK may have been introduced to the ST universe before the show was syndicated on the other side of the pond.
This probably deserves a two star rating, but it benefits from a Star Trek bias.
