Thanks to David Charney for the suggestion.

The early issues of this Gold Key comic seemed to be fairly serious, at least from looking at the covers. By issue 9, however, the comic started looking a lot more like other Gold Key monster-oriented series.

    Monsters from the Vulcan id???

    I’ve read about one of the Gold Key comics where some super-villain builds models of all the major cities on Earth so that by destroying them his voodoo powers will destroy the real cities by sympathetic magic. Then Spock pulls out some ancient Vulcan voodoo and turns his powers back on him.

    I am not making this up…

    I thought the cover said Vulcan furries for a minute or two.

    The idea of Spock dressed in a sehlat furry costume makes me giggle.

    And people complained about the Spock’s Brain episode! Imagine if they’d shot that for TV.

    Interesting that Kirk and Spock are depicted barricading themselves against an anachronistic 20th century style door (note the knob) rather than a 23rd century automated sliding door… where their efforts would obviously have been useless.

    I was thinking it looks like some sort of carnival fun-house.

    Wonder if Bones is on the other side… ‘DAMMIT JIM, THIS ISN’T FUNNY ANYMORE… OPEN THE BLEEPING DOOR!!!’

    Perhaps Sarek had some deeply disturbed hobbies that Spock preferred we just not know about
