    Captain's Review Two and a half deltas out of five.
    Captain's Comments & Nitpicks: This story was later reprinted in issue 29 of this series; in the first 'Enterprise Logs' paperback; and again in Star Trek Annual #1 in the U.K. This was the first Star Trek comic ever published. Comment: Xx. Nitpick: The Gold Key Star Trek comics were of course, rife with inaccuaracies. Much of the terminology and exposition in this book seems entirely out of place, considering that the writers and artists of these tomes had never actually watched Star Trek. This is the beginning of many issues where Kirk begins by stating which Galaxy the Enterprise is visiting, Galaxy Alpha. I suppose it could be assumed that 'Galaxy Alpha' could mean the Alpha Quadrant of our galaxy.
