The Star Trek Audio Adventures - Episode 101

70s Trek: Star Trek in the 1970s

In the 1970s, there was a version of Star Trek produced that did not feature the original actors. The audio adventures of Star Trek produced by Power Records did have a different cast and featured all-new stories of the crew of the Enterprise.

They stand out as something unique in the 1970s. It is the first produced version of Star Trek that featured an entirely new cast. Unfortunately, we don’t know who they are. The voice actors were not listed on the albums and they don’t appear anywhere on the internet. So their identities have been lost through the years.

There is more about these stories that we don't know, as well. For instance, these stories were sold with comic books. And the identities of the illustrators and writers for some of them are not listed.

But we do know that there were a few big names connected with the stories. Several were written by some notable names like comic book writers Neal Adams, Dick Giordano, John Buscema and Cary Bates.

Another writer of these stories was author Alan Dean Foster. He penned the Star Trek Log Books and would go on to create the story for Star Trek - The Motion Picture.
