I’m on the first page of the first Star Trek comic ever, and for fuck’s sake, calling the Enterprise a “Star Spaceship” is bad (thanks for the clarification, chief) but they’re in a random, lifeless galaxy for no damn reason? Because that’s doable. 

“But Ed, warp travel is imaginary anyway, can’t they just make it up as they go along?”

NO. THIS ISN’T VIETNAM, SMOKEY, THIS IS SCIENCE FICTION. THERE ARE RULES. 

That’s why I read those old Gold Key ones in smaaaall doses.
