Sitting here thinking about young men in college in the 80s. Young men who would deny Spirk with their dying breaths, who nevertheless would gather around tiny TVs in their dorm rooms and weep at the end of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

Star Trek: The Fotonovel
So TOS fotonovels are a thing that exists. If you've never heard of them- they're comics composed of stills of the show episodes. A couple of the first six movies were also made into fotonovels BUT they're both a little different than the ones based on TOS episodes and I will get to them in due time.
Right off the bat there are a couple of things that need to be said. For one, why do these exist? Well I imagine they made for a good way to consume your fave episode without having to wait for it to come on TV again. With that in mind, these fotonovels work perfectly. They're very true to the episodes with some exceptions. These differences come from the fact that these aren't comics drawn based on an episode, they just take stills directly from the show and the show was not intended to be read/viewed in this way.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Some things cannot avoid being abridged or compressed in favor of this new format but for the most part this is never really distracting and nor does it take away from the reading experience. After all, it's supposed to be a very detailed reminder of the episode you already know, so you can just relive it with the pictures.
Additionally, sometimes the fotonovels have extra lines and these are mostly found in the way of thought bubbles the characters have. Overall they're very charming but don't have a lot of utility now a days. I own some because I have problems.... They make up almost a fourth of my ST TOS book collection.
If you are interested in them my general thoughts are that the ones made from the episodes are really well done for what they are. They're also basically just some of the most popular episodes from the show using only episodes from the first two seasons. They're delivered in their own order adhering to neither the release of the show nor its intended release.
TITLES (ones i own)
The City on the Edge of Forever
Where No Man Has Gone Before
The Trouble With Tribbles
A Taste of Armageddon
Metamorphosis
All Our Yesterdays
The Galileo Seven
A piece of the Action
The Devil in the Dark
Day of the Dove
The Deadly Years
Amok Time
Star Trek: The Motion Picture Photostory
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Photostory
Now, you'll notice I said that the ones made for the episodes are good, and so far I have been sure to separate the ones done for the movies. This is because there's a bit of a quality drop.
For starters, they kept them the same length as the fotonovels of the episodes. Right away that presents a pretty big quandary because the movies are over twice as long. So if you're looking for something that adds to the experience of seeing the movies, these last two fotonovels will not do that- rather they will take away. A lot of scenes just don't make it into them and neither of them are adding from the novelizations either.
And then we have their page quality. All but one of these have shiny, coloured pages. Wrath of Khan is unfortunately in black and white and not even composed like a comic but is rather movie stills with accompanying dialogue. That's sort of like a massive let down given how big of a deal that movie is.
I intend to really get into the nitty gritty with each of these- especially the movie adaptions.
And, if you're worried about the loss of homoerotic subtext- you're all good... plus its just a tad funnier this way.

So You Want To Get Into Star Trek
But watching every episode of every show and every movie feels like a bit much.
Then I have the watchlist for you! My father, wonderful nerd that he is, has compiled a list of what select episodes and movies to watch, in order, to get you a comfortable overview of Star Trek from the 1960s to 2000s. This list does not include the most recent shows from the sort of Trek revival era we're currently in, which started in 2017, but it should allow you to dive into any of those recent shows without being lost in what they're building on.
Full list and a below the cut because, even though it’s greatly shortened from the full episode catalogue, it’s still pretty long to display on tumblr:
ST: The Original Series
Where No Man Has Gone Before Charlie X What Are Little Girls Made Of The Galileo Seven Space Seed The Devil in the Dark The City on the Edge of Forever Journey to Babel The Doomsday Machine The Trouble with Tribbles The Menagerie, Parts I and II The Conscience of the King The Enterprise Incident
OPTIONAL: The Cage, Amok Time
(Note: if you’re here for Kirk/Spock reasons, Amok Time is not optional and should be watched after City on the Edge of Forever)
ST: The Animated Series
Yesteryear One of Our Planets is Missing More Tribbles, More Troubles The Slaver Weapon Albatross
FILMS
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan NOW OR LATER: Star Trek III: The Search for Spock NOW OR LATER: Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
