BoldlyTrek — Books / Publisher 01
Bantam Books
Bantam held the Star Trek licence first, from January 1967, and kept publishing on lead times until 1981 even after Pocket took over. The line ran from James Blish’s episode adaptations to the first wave of original novels, plus a run of photo-comic fotonovels. Uneven, occasionally bizarre, and the foundation everything else was built on.
