Here are some of the
Star Trek comic book & record combos produced by Power Records back in 1975. The artwork in these comics was provided by
Neal Adams' Continuity Associates (incl. contributions from Adams himself,
Russ Heath and
Dick Giordano), and the stories were written by
Space: 1970 superscribe,
Alan Dean Foster. The dramatic audio plays are pretty good - these two stories in particular are designed to make good use of the format - but suffer from not having any of the original actors involved.
As for the comic book art, it's generally terrific - but these books are somewhat notorious for making Sulu into an African American, and Uhura a blonde! The Animated Series' Lieutenant M'Ress appears in "Passage to Moauv," but instead of being drawn as a felinoid, she looks like an Orion slave girl!

There were additional
Star Trek audio dramas from Power Records that appeared on LP s and 45 RPM records throughout the latter half of the Seventies, including a few that tied-in with the release of
Star Trek - The Motion Picture in 1979.
There are several sites on the web devoted to Power Records, where you can find MP3s of the records and pdfs of the comics. I prefer The
Power Records Plaza, myself.
