Capitão James T. Kirk

Capitão James T. Kirk is the Portuguese-language comics edition of Star Trek's iconic Starfleet captain, commanding the USS Enterprise alongside Spock, McCoy, Uhura, and Scotty. Published by Agência Portuguesa de Revistas, the series used photo-referenced artwork drawn from the live-action show.

A Bronze Age artifact of a very particular kind, Capitão James T. Kirk made his comics debut in 1978 through Agência Portuguesa de Revistas' Portuguese-language Star Trek publication, O Caminho das Estrelas. Rendered from photo reference rather than the pen of an illustrator, this version of the legendary captain carries a distinctly real-world presence on the page, sharing those adventures with familiar faces like Spock, Uhura, Dr. Leonard McCoy, and Montgomery Scott. With just seven catalog appearances, this is a collector's curiosity — a snapshot of how Star Trek's universe was brought to Portuguese-speaking readers during the Bronze Age boom of licensed comics worldwide.
