TOS comics

Many companies have owned the rights to publish Star Trek: The Original Series Comics from 1967 to the present time.

• Gold Key Comics: Gold Key was the first company to produce TOS comics. Sixty-one comics were produced from 1967 until 1979, and featured missions set in the USS Enterprise's five-year mission.
• Marvel Comics: Marvel began releasing comics in 1980 with an adaptation of The Motion Picture. These comics dealt with the Enterprise's second five-year mission, but only lasted for 18 issues before ending in 1982.
• DC Comics: DC Comics began their comics in 1984, and printed two series of comics, as well as many specials and collections, before ending in 1996.
• Marvel/Paramount Comics picked up the license for several ongoing titles and mini-series from 1995 but dropped most of the series after only eighteen months.
• WildStorm from 1999 did not published continuous series of TOS comics but released one shots and miniseries depicting the series.
• In 2006, as TOS celebrated its 40th Anniversary it became the first Star Trek series to be have tales told in the manga style, when TokyoPop published an anthology, the first of three, called Star Trek: The Manga.
• The current license holder is IDW Publishing.
