Star Trek #34

Gold Key's Star Trek ventures deep underground in this 1975 issue, with the cover tagline "The PsychoCrystals — They Glitter With Death!" setting an ominous tone. George Wilson's painted cover drops two crew members into a stalactite-filled alien cavern where a massive, pulsating pink crystal entity looms over them, unleashing a blinding energy burst while a snarling reptilian creature lurks to the left — it's a genuinely unsettling scene that captures the classic Trek knack for strange, dangerous new life-forms. Writer Arnold Drake and artist Alberto Giolitti bring the interior adventure to life, making this a solid entry in Gold Key's long-running series.
