Some more retro comic book fun, perhaps, with Marvel's Star Trek comic book Issue #5 from 1980 - with the wonderfully sensationalist cover 'Dr McCoy... Killer?', and Mr. Spock yelling: 'Shoot the girl... or the Enterprise dies!' Can spaceships die? Odd.
[The Wikipedia page for Star Trek spinoffs notes: "Marvel's series of Star Trek comics began in 1979 with an adaptation of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and continued for another year... Marvel's license from Paramount prohibited them from utilizing concepts introduced in the original series, being restricted to only using the characters and concepts as they appeared in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The series lasted a total of 18 issues, ending in 1981."]
Of course, the other scan is a couple of panels from the final page of the book, which was written by Mike W. Barr and illustrated by Dave Cockrum and Klaus Janson, and including some awesome McCoy badinage to Spock: "Your pointy-eared Vulcan hide saved by primitive human emotions... it's somehow fitting!"
