John Byrne’s STAR TREK Shout-Outs!

By John Trumbull February 27, 2017 May 3, 2017 25

Last week, I talked about STAR TREK: NEW VISIONS, the photomontage comics series of Star Trek adventures that John Byrne is doing for IDW.

But before John Byrne got a regular gig telling STAR TREK stories, he was just like the rest of us – A STAR TREK fan who’d occasionally make reference to it in his everyday life. It just so happened that Byrne’s everyday life was as a popular writer/artist of comic books. So I thought it’d be fun to see how many ST references I could pick out of Byrne’s classic comic book work.

R.I.P. Dan Spiegle (1920-2017)

By John Trumbull January 30, 2017 January 30, 2017 3

Dan Spiegle passed away on Saturday.

If you weren’t familiar with Dan’s work, I feel sorry for you. He was, simply put, one of the most ferociously talented artists that comics have ever produced. And probably one of the most underrated by fandom.

Time, Timeline, See What’s Become Of Me

By John Trumbull November 15, 2016 February 19, 2017 40

I’m going to make a confession this week. One that, even by geek standards, is pretty geeky.

For years now, I’ve been writing fictional timelines.

Hang on. Put that straitjacket away. Let me explain.

The West Wing: The Next Generation

By John Trumbull November 7, 2016 July 25, 2017 22

THE WEST WING and STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION are essentially the same show. They’re both optimistic at heart, filled with good people sincerely trying to do their best. No doubt about it, they have a lot in common. But the REALLY fun part is finding parallels between the characters.

Star Trek Boldly Goes To… Ticonderoga, New York?

By John Trumbull October 24, 2016 March 19, 2017 10

I’m a second generation of Trek fan, one of the ones who first saw it in syndication in the 70s. Even today, I’m still an Original Series fan first and foremost. Which is why I’ve been celebrating all year. And this past Saturday, I decided to top off my 2016 Trek celebrations by taking a road trip to see Star Trek: The Original Series Set Tour. These sets were originally built for the fan film series ‘Star Trek: New Voyages’ (later known as Phase II) by TOS superfan James Cawley.
