Exploring the Star Trek Universe through comics. Spanning four decades reviewing the newest stories & those from the comic archives.

Welcome to issue 24 of the Holodeck. This week as part of our ongoing interview series with those who have shaped Star Trek in comics we are pleased to welcome to the Holodeck Howard Weinstein.

Howard Weinstein’s professional writing career launched at age 19 when he sold “The Pirates of Orion” script to NBC-TV’s Emmy-winning animated Star Trek series in 1974. Howard also has a thank you credit on Star Trek IV the Voyage Home.

Over the four decades since his animated Star Trek episode, Howard’s varied credits include six Star Trek novels, three V novels, Star Trek anthology short stories and 65 Trek comics and graphic novels.

During the interview Howard tells us how he became a writer, how he found Star Trek and of course what it was like writing Star Trek comics. We also speak about his novels, Crazy 8 Press and so much more.
