Star Trek #32

Spock urgently pulls a woman in red to safety as wild, barely-clothed figures scatter in panic behind them — all while a sleek, manta-ray-shaped red spacecraft unleashes a blinding energy blast overhead. Gold Key's 1975 entry in their Star Trek run promises a tense alien encounter with "The Animal People — They lived like beasts but rebelled like men!" teasing a story of primal revolt from writer Arnold Drake and artist Alberto Giolitti. The photo portraits of Spock and Kirk in the upper corner give the issue that warm, TV-connected feel that made Gold Key's Trek comics a distinct treat of the era.
