I love this. I just got a copy of the 1976 Strektaculars, also drawn by Phil Foglio and from Boojums Press. I haven’t even read it yet.

Fifty years ago today, the doors opened on Toronto Star Trek '76--the best #StarTrek convention ever held in Canada. I wrote the definitive history of that weekend. Read about the fans, the celebrities, the almost-arrest, and scotch and jumpsuits and other shenanigans: torontostartrek76.ca

Hey look, it's Disco McCoy before The Motion Picture! (The first photo is from David Gerrold's 1973 The Trouble with Tribbles book.)

It's interesting that even Vulcans have fashion trends, but we are left to wonder if Spock was leading the movement towards more moderate eyebrows or following what the kids were doing back on his home planet.

Spock in Where No Man Has Gone before, with dramatically arched eyebrows that climb quite far up his forehead.

In this shot from Operation -- Annihilate! the Spock brows are slimmer and not nearly as arched.

Is McCoy jealous? Because he looks jealous. I guess he wanted to be grabbing Christine's rear end at work. T-Negative fanzine, 1976. #NSFW

The cover of this fanzine from 1976 is a drawing depicting Spock and Christine Chapel kissing passionately, in sickbay, with Spock groping her ass. McCoy has walked in on them, and seems annoyed or jealous.

1970s journalists were often terrible. From the Ottawa Citizen, July 22, 1976, about the Toronto Star Trek '76 convention: "George Takei, who played Sulu, the oriental helmsman, will show off his skills with a samurai sword." That did not not happen, and was never promised by the organizers.
