"The 60th Anniversary comic is a 68-page anthology that hits shelves on September 2, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The writers involved in the project include Miles Morales co-creator Brian Michael Bendis, Lower Decks showrunner Mike McMahan, Squirrel Girl and Lost in Random writer Ryan North, and comedian and writer Dana Gould."
"But the most interesting person involved with the massive comic is David Gerrold, who is one of the last surviving Star Trek original series writers. His story will involve the famous Star Trek con man, Harry Mudd. "The reason why Star Trek has been an enduring part of our culture is that at its heart, Star Trek has never been about finding enemies to defeat; it was always about finding allies and friends against the vast darkness of the universe," Gerrold told the outlet."
"Gerrold helped write three different TOS episodes, including the famous "The Trouble with Tribbles." "I was privileged to be a part of that original vision. It was an amazing opportunity, and I made some of the best friends anyone could ever imagine. The chance to return to the Star Trek universe and write a new story, especially one that honors the original series, yes, it was a privilege.""
"Elsewhere in the massive special is a one-page Enterprise gag story, a Scotty tale from Gould, a Next Generation-era story about Beverly Crusher, a Starfleet Academy tie-in story, and a small tease of the new Star Trek c omic coming from IDW in the future."
Star Trek: The 60th Anniversary Special is an oversized 68-page anthology comic book released September 2 as part of a year-long celebration. Paramount and IDW announced the one-shot comic with contributions from multiple writers, including Brian Michael Bendis, Mike McMahan, Ryan North, and Dana Gould. David Gerrold, one of the last surviving original series writers, will write a story featuring Harry Mudd. Gerrold connects Star Trek’s longevity to themes of allies and friends rather than enemies. The special also includes a one-page Enterprise gag, a Scotty tale, a Next Generation-era story about Beverly Crusher, a Starfleet Academy tie-in, and a small tease of a future IDW Star Trek comic.
