Background
Early Gold Key Comics versions of Star Trek were drawn by art studios in Italy, before The Original Series had reached European television. As a result, many of the comics in question lacked detailed reference to the look and storyline of the TV version. The prolific Italian comic artists involved with this version of Star Trek included Alberto Giolitti and Nevio Zeccara.
