Star Trek Fotonovels

Star Trek Fotonovels were a series of twelve books, produced by Mandala Productions and published by Bantam Books in the late 1970s. These books were essentially re-tellings of Original Series episodes, with word balloons and text being arranged over stills from the episode in the style of a comic book or graphic novel. Something of a short-term fad, such books were conceived in the days before the advent of home video and quickly fell out of fashion thereafter. Nevertheless, the first six titles of the Bantam editions saw international releases in The Netherlands and Germany, while at least the second title in the series was released in Japan.
