And here are the final batch of covers from the 1979-80 Marvel Comics Star Trek monthly comic book series, featuring issues #13 through #18 of the company's first attempt with the Trek franchise, which was a continuation from Star Trek - The Motion Picture (hence, the pastel pajama uniforms). It was an interesting - if ultimately unsatisfying - run, as the company tried their damnedest to apply the Marvel-style of super-hero storytelling to the Trek universe, but they were limited both by their own approach, and licensing restrictions from Paramount.

A few years later, DC would land the license, and have a longer, more successful run with it. As mentioned in previous posts, Marvel would get the license back for a while in the 90s - but that incarnation is beyond the Space: 1970 timeframe.
