JACOBS/BROWN PRESS PUBLISHES TREK STAR, DOUG DREXLER’S JOURNEY FROM STAR TREK FAN TO AWARD- WINNING HOLLYWOOD MAKEUP AND EFFECTS CREATOR
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JACOBS/BROWN PRESS PUBLISHES TREK STAR, DOUG DREXLER’S JOURNEY FROM STAR TREK FAN TO AWARD-WINNING HOLLYWOOD MAKEUP AND EFFECTS CREATOR
Los Angeles, CA – June 30, 2026 — Jacobs/Brown Press is proud to announce the release of Trek Star: The Geek Life of Doug Drexler—How Star Trek’s Legendary Designer Made All His Idiotic Adolescent Dreams Come True, available June 30, 2026.
Academy Award-winning artist Doug Drexler has spent more than four decades helping create specialty makeup and visual effects for some of the most beloved science fiction and fantasy productions in film and television. He won an Oscar for his makeup work on Warren Beatty’s Dick Tracy, earned two Emmy Awards for his visual effects work on Battlestar Galactica, and received eight Emmy nominations throughout his career, including two for Star Trek: The Next Generation. His creative contributions to Star Trek – from starships and graphics to props and alien designs – have helped define the franchise’s iconic visual identity.
In Trek Star, Drexler tells the remarkable story of how a lifelong obsession with Star Trek led to a career beyond his wildest dreams. The book traces his journey from a young fan captivated by Captain Kirk and the USS Enterprise to becoming one of the franchise’s most influential behind-the-scenes creators.
Filled with humor, heart, and candid reflections, Trek Star takes readers inside some of television and film’s most memorable productions. Drexler shares stories of working alongside Hollywood legends, transforming actors into comic book gangsters for Dick Tracy, designing the Enterprise NX-01 and other iconic starships, and helping bring imaginative worlds to life through makeup, production design, and visual effects.
“Doug’s story proves that passion and perseverance can lead to extraordinary places,” said Marc Cushman, Star Trek historian, writer and author. “He didn’t just become part of the franchise that inspired him – he helped shape it for future generations. Trek Star is both an entertaining Hollywood memoir and an inspiring reminder of what can happen when you follow your dreams.”
Beyond Dick Tracy, Battlestar Galactica, and Star Trek: The Next Generation, Drexler’s ongoing career includes acclaimed work on the series Star Trek: Enterprise, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Picard, the films Star Trek: First Contact and Star Trek: Generations, the series The Orville, and numerous other film and television projects.
Part memoir, part Hollywood history, and part love letter to fandom, Trek Star is the story of what can happen when a lifelong passion becomes a career.
Print and digital copies are now available on Amazon.com, BarnesAndNoble.com, and Apple Books. Visit JacobsBrownMediaGroup.com for additional information, exclusive videos featuring Doug discussing the book and his career, and more details on Jacobs/Brown Press’s lineup of pop culture and media history titles.

Happy 2026 Birthday to Bjo Trimble!
()
Happy birthday to Bjo Trimble!
Betty JoAnne Trimble, universally known as Bjo Trimble (maiden name Betty JoAnne Conway) is an artist, writer, and a strong presence in Star Trek fandom. Trimble was one of the major forces behind the letter-writing campaign that saw the original series renewed for its third season. She was also the driving force behind the letter-writing campaign that urged President Ford to change the name of the first space shuttle to Enterprise. Trimble and her husband John also helped set up Lincoln Enterprises, the mail-order company run by Majel Barrett-Roddenberry.
Her only “official” work is the Star Trek Concordance, an episode guide and encyclopedia for The Original Series and The Animated Series, which began as a fandom publication, but was later published by Ballantine Books and endorsed by Paramount. Her fan works include the previously-mentioned encyclopedia and On the Good Ship Enterprise, a humorous work detailing her fifteen-year involvement with the show. Trimble has also written articles for numerous sci-fi magazines, including Starlog (for whom she wrote the Fan Scene column, concerning the fandom phenomena, that ran from issues 33, 1980 through 69, 1983) and the magazines of the US and UK official Trek fan clubs.

“Star Trek #17” Review by Themindreels.com
Themindreels.com has added a new review for L. B. Kellogg‘s “Star Trek #17”:
There’s a change in writer for this issue of DC Comics’ ongoing Star Trek series. I imagine Mike Barr needed a break after that eight-issue tale he penned. Writing the script for issue 17, which was on spinners for August of 1985 is L.B. Kellogg, Tom Sutton continues as penciller, and Ricardo Villagran is on inks.

The Star Trek television shows may be coming to an end, but the comics are alive and well, launching a new #1 this September. Not only that, it features Seven of Nine commanding the Enterprise G with a crew of familiar faces and descendants of classic characters. Not only that, it features a new kind of adventure taking the crew outside the four quadrants: Truly boldly going where no one has gone before. As a lifelong Star Trek fan and the first issue in hand, I can safely say this series is built on the series’ history, love of sci-fi, and the spectacle only Star Trek can bring.

It’s been three years since the series finale of Star Trek: Picard, and the proposed follow-up series Star Trek: Legacy is still nowhere to be found. But like the Enterprise-C at Narendra III, IDW Publishing has come to our aid and is giving us something arguably better: an ongoing flagship comic, launching in the franchise’s 60th anniversary year, with Seven of Nine in the captain’s chair of the Enterprise-G.

I am quite behind on my book reviews, so my original plan was to review the first three Star Trek: Vanguard books here on my blog when I reread them because I had never reviewed them before (they predate my bookbloogging; I do feel like I reviewed book one on the TrekBBS when it came out, but if so, I can’t find the post).

Here are all the comics printed this week in years past.
Out Today: “Star Trek: 60 anos em 60 momentos”
Out today: “Star Trek: 60 anos em 60 momentos“, by Eduardo Pacheco Freitas.
Celebrar os 60 anos de Star Trek é revisitar uma das mais influentes e duradouras obras de ficção científica da cultura popular. Mais do que uma franquia sobre naves, planetas distantes e civilizações alienígenas, Star Trek sempre utilizou o futuro como espelho do presente, propondo reflexões sobre ética, diversidade, ciência, poder, identidade, guerra, memória e esperança.
Neste livro, o autor percorre momentos decisivos da trajetória da franquia, analisando como Star Trek atravessou gerações, mídias, transformações tecnológicas e debates sociais sem perder sua pergunta essencial: que tipo de humanidade queremos construir? A obra examina suas séries, filmes, personagens, rupturas narrativas e reinvenções, mostrando como esse universo se tornou muito mais do que apenas entretenimento,
Com olhar de pesquisador, fã e criador do canal Apenas um Trekker, o autor convida o leitor a acompanhar essa jornada de seis décadas a partir de uma perspectiva crítica e afetiva. Em tempos marcados por incertezas sobre tecnologia, inteligência artificial, conflitos globais e futuro planetário, Star Trek permanece atual por nos lembrar que o amanhã não é uma promessa garantida, mas uma construção coletiva.
Uma leitura para fãs, pesquisadores e todos aqueles que acreditam que imaginar o futuro também é uma forma de transformar o presente.

Star Trek: Vanguard was a series of original novels (plus some novellas) from Pocket Books, released from 2005 to 2012. I read the first five novels (roughly) as they came out… but when the sixth book came out in 2011, my progress through my reading list had gotten quite bogged down, and as of 2026, I still haven’t read it! I’ve been slowly digging my way out recently, though, and am at last ready to tackle it… only at this point the last time I read a Vanguard book was in 2010, over fifteen years ago. I am hardly ready to jump straight into book six in the tightly serialized saga.

Happy birthday to Wil Wheaton!
Wil Wheaton may be one of the most unusual celebrities of our time. Born into stardom with the movie “Stand By Me”, and then growing up on television as Wesley Crusher on “Star Trek: The Next Generation”, Wil was in the spotlight nearly his entire childhood. Instead of burning out as a child star, he left fame behind and became a computer specialist in what Hollywood might consider the middle of nowhere: Topeka, Kansas. Now, Wil considers himself “just a geek”, and both Dancing Barefoot and the forthcoming biography Just a Geek are about his journey in rediscovering himself and coming to terms with what it means to be famous, or, ironically, famous for being previously famous.

On the Federation’s farthest frontier, red shirts don’t just die—they’re used.When conscripted security grunt Harry Deubert finds contraband hidden inside a fallen comrade’s body, he uncovers Section Null—a secret Starfleet directorate turning disposable red shirts into assets in a sprawling criminal conspiracy. Teaming with Lyna Taval, an Andorian officer with her own covert agenda, Deubert digs too deep…and becomes a target.
Someone inside Starfleet Security is selling out the Federation. And once Deubert and Taval learn what red shirts are really for, there’s no going back.

“Star Trek Classics #3 – Encounters with the Unknown” Review by Lessaccurategrandmother.blogspot.com
Lessaccurategrandmother.blogspot.com has added a new review for Andy Lanning and Dan Abnett and Dean Wesley Smith and Doselle Young and Janine Ellen Young and Kristine Kathryn Rusch and Nathan Archer‘s “Star Trek Classics #3 – Encounters with the Unknown”:
Like Enemy Unseen, this “Star Trek Classics” release on Hoopla from IDW takes a Wildstorm trade paperback from the 2000s and rebrands it. While Enemy Unseen collected several otherwise unrelated Next Generation stories, this one collects four Voyager stories, three double-length one-shots and one three-part miniseries. I was surprised that the obviously intentionally vague title Encounters with the Unknown is actually pretty applicable to all four stories even though it feels like it could be applied to almost any Star Trek story if you squinted hard enough!

Atria Gallery Group Relaunches Pocket Books Imprint
Schluep comes to Pocket Books from Amazon Publishing, where she was Associate Publisher of Montlake, Skyscape, and 47 North imprints. During her fifteen-year tenure at Amazon, she helped launch and build Montlake, a wildly successful romance line, where she published #1 New York Times bestselling authors Colleen Hoover, Devney Perry, Rebecca Yarros, Jeneva Rose, and Sylvia Day, among others. Prior to growing Amazon Publishing’s business, Schluep was in sales at Penguin Random House. In her new position, she will lead the strategic vision and editorial direction of Pocket, re-establishing the imprint as a leader in commercial fiction publishing, with a key focus on romance, and as the top choice for bestselling entrepreneurial authors.
“Anh Schluep is one of the most innovative publishers working in our industry today,” noted Jennifer Bergstrom. “She has deep expertise in how modern authors want to partner with a publisher. I’m thrilled to be working with Anh and delighted to relaunch Pocket Books with its new mission. Pocket will offer a home for forward-thinking writers, including bestselling indie and hybrid authors looking to amplify their reach using our unparalleled strengths in marketing, publicity, and print distribution.”
“I’m excited to be bringing back Pocket Books,” Schluep commented. “The imprint, which published its first list in 1939, revolutionized the industry by making books available to readers in non-traditional outlets. The first contemporary U.S. publisher to democratize reading, it became the home for legendary romance authors including Jude Deveraux, Julie Garwood, and Judith McNaught. I look forward to publishing the next generation of fan favorites.”
Schluep adds: “This is how I think about it: Pocket Books was originally created to reach a mass market readership. I want to honor that idea and collaborate with authors to bring their stories to the widest audience.”
Along with core romance, the imprint will publish additional genres including romantic thrillers, dark romance, and horror. The imprint expects to launch two to three titles per month starting in January 2027.
Schluep will officially begin at Simon & Schuster on July 1.
No mention of Star Trek in this press release, so I’m assuming the move to Gallery Books is now 100% complete and we won’t be returning to the Pocket Books imprint.
Out Today: “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: The Seeds of Salvation TPB”
Out today: “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: The Seeds of Salvation TPB“, by Robbie Thompson.
From Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season-four writer Robbie Thompson comes a Lovecraftian horror the likes of which the crew of the Enterprise has never seen before!
After plodding through uneventful mission after uneventful mission, Christine Chapel is itching for a real adventure. So, when an opportunity to reunite with her old scientist friend Jinare for research on the planet Poilant crops up, Chapel is excited to finally do what Starfleet does best: explore strange new worlds. However, when the Enterprise arrives in Poilant’s space, they cannot get into contact with Jinare or any of her researchers. Chapel, Una, Spock, La’An, and Scotty beam down, and they are greeted by…nothing…no one…and no signs of what caused their disappearance, only a robot named D6 who urges them to descend into the planet’s depths in search of his friends. But there’s more than scientists lurking in the watery abyss. Ancient life-forms and behemoths await—and they might mean more adventure than even Chapel can handle.
Perfect for fans of the hit television series hungry for more Strange New Worlds action with a focus on beloved characters Christine Chapel and Spock!

“Star Trek: Picard: To Defy Fate” Review by Atboundarysedge.com
Atboundarysedge.com has added a new review for Dayton Ward‘s “Star Trek: Picard: To Defy Fate”:
Few Star Trek shows have been as uneven as Picard. The first season was a sombre and occasionally gritty look at a Federation that had failed to meet its lofty goals. The second was a bizarre tangent into time travel and parallel universes. The third was a reunion designed solely to please the fans. Let the record show that I loved the first, disliked the second, and tolerated the third. To Defy Fate is the first Picard novel to take place after the main events of the third season (technically the coda occurs after this book). It also folds in events from every incarnation of Star Trek from the original series, to Deep Space Nine, to Enterprise, to Discovery, and even throws in a nod to the JJ Abrams films. To Defy Fate is a book that grabs the entire sixty years of canon and smashes them into a single story.

In Sickbay, Zed makes an impossible call to save Vi from assimilation, uncovering a terrifying truth about the psychic singularity at Deep Space Hope. It proves hope may still exist… at a devastating cost.

New Star Trek Comic Books Announced To Preorder! July 2026 Edition
IDW July 2026 Catalog
Their mission is new. Their legacy is not.
From the pen of fan-favorite writer Christopher Cantwell (Star Trek: Defiant, Star Trek: Red Shirts) and the brush of psychedelic standout Dennis Menheere (Etheres, Little Nightmares) comes the launch of an all-new flagship…and this time, we’re busting out of the four quadrants.
The Enterprise-G is on a desperate mission beyond the known Galaxy to relocate the dying Avuran people when its crew finds a perfect new home in a region of unknown space called the Epsilon Corridor. Three pristine Class-M worlds—the Trinity—await the refugees. No signs of civilization. No detectable threats. A colonist’s dream. But the dream fractures fast.
When Captain Seven of Nine and her divided, fast-tracked crew begin exploring the Trinity, they uncover disturbing contradictions: vanished structures, inexplicable artifacts, time skips, and evidence of a presence Starfleet’s century-old probes never detected. Each world houses a different ecosystem, different physics problems, and different secrets—as if they’ve been curated…or quarantined. But from who? Or what?
The first arc of Star Trek delivers a prestige, mystery-driven, high-stakes psychological thriller of an opening salvo—new worlds, new species, new existential threats—anchored by Seven, Jack, and Crash La Forge fighting to keep the mission together as the Galaxy’s oldest ghosts awaken.
Star Trek: Deviations: Evermore
Quoth the raven…“Evermore.”
This spooky one-shot features Dr. Joseph M’Benga of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds as he encounters various crew members turned characters and creatures from the worlds of Edgar Allan Poe aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise!
Dr. M’Benga’s daughter, Rukiya, has always loved a good bedtime story—especially if that story contains a raven, a beating heart beneath the floorboards, or a deadly plague. But now, on what seems like a night like any other, she’s whisked away by the very fantasies she once delighted in. It’s up to her loving father to beat back the dark and rescue her from a dream within a dream…
A Halloween mystery unfolds on Deep Space 9!
On the eve of a high-stakes diplomatic summit, Deep Space 9 is thrown into chaos by a sudden communications blackout and a string of deeply unsettling incidents. With senior leadership called away, Worf, Dax, Odo, and Bashir must hold the station together as tensions rise among visiting dignitaries.
Then, a distressed starship arrives with explosive claims—and one member of the DS9 crew stands accused of murder. As suspicion spreads and paranoia takes hold, a creeping sense of dread settles over the Promenade. And somewhere inside the station’s holosuites, something has gone terrifyingly wrong…
A locked-station thriller begins here.
The Halloween event continues—and the danger deepens.
Deep Space 9 remains on edge as unexplained incidents multiply and trust continues to fracture. With conflicting testimonies, missing personnel, and diplomatic tensions nearing a boiling point, station security faces a mystery that refuses to add up.
While suspicions mount and the clock ticks toward disaster, a growing sense of unease suggests the truth may be far stranger—and far closer—than anyone suspects.
Part three of our Halloween event!
A dire, garbled warning breaks through from Benjamin Sisko—he’s identified the suspects, and they’re extremely dangerous. Then the signal dies.
With communications severed and panic spreading, Worf and Odo move fast to protect the civilians and visiting dignitaries, sealing off the station and turning Deep Space 9 into a high-stakes locked-room mystery. But just as order seems within reach, a chilling realization hits: Bashir and Dax are missing…and no one knows where they’ve gone.
The terrifying finale of the Halloween event!
Time has run out. Lives hang in the balance. And the nightmare consuming Deep Space 9 is finally ready to show its face.
Cut off, outmatched, and pushed to their limits, the crew must confront the true force behind the chaos before the station—and everyone on it—pays the ultimate price. Shattering revelations ignite desperate gambits, fragile alliances strain to breaking, and survival demands impossible choices.
Enter a final confrontation where horror meets heroism, morality is put on trial, and the fate of countless lives turns on a single perilous moment.
Star Trek: Red Shirts: Ghost of the 21st Century #2
Harry Deubert wasn’t always an “upstanding” member of the Federation. Once upon a time, he was a thief. And a damn good one. Today, he’s a haunted man, spiraling—and all it takes is one good drink and the ripped-open body of his buddy, stuffed with contraband, for him to decide his life as an indentured servant to Section Null is over.
He’s gonna blow whatever this cadaver conspiracy is wide open. Step one? Confronting Chief Officer Miller.
Star Trek: The Last Starship #11
After decades of struggle, Sato, Kirk, Agnes, Zed, and Valqis have come back together—united to save the Federation from the trap that is the Emerald Chain closing in around them. The tension is high; trust is at an all-time low and has been broken before. They’ve been through hell, and not always on the same side. But Dr. Zed sees a path toward healing.
They’ve all been wrong. They’ve all made mistakes. Now, and only now, does the crew of the U.S.S. Omega have the chance to make it all worth it.
Despite Solara and her demented protégé Osyraa circling ever closer aboard the Emerald Chain flagship, the crew of the Omega are going to build T’Galatheon Gate—and save what little is left of Starfleet..for those who will follow in their footsteps.

Happy birthday to Ronald D. Moore!
Ronald “Ron” Dowl Moore is a writer and producer of several Star Trek series and films, as well as several other science fiction and genre programs. Moore was recognized for his writing work on the Star Trek franchise with seven award nominations, winning two of them. In his post-Star Trek years, he greatly added to this list of laurels.
While residing in Los Angeles as a struggling and budding writer, Ron Moore started to date a woman who worked on the set of Star Trek: The Next Generation. In 1989, Moore, an avid fan of the original Star Trek, convinced her to take him on a tour of the lot. He had written a script for the show, which the producers liked enough to actually film. It became “The Bonding”, and Moore was soon hired as a staff writer.
He remained at that position until the end of the series. He co-wrote 27 episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation including the series finale, “All Good Things…” for which he won the Hugo Award for excellence in science fiction writing along with Brannon Braga. Moore and Braga also co-wrote two films featuring the Next Generation cast, Star Trek Generations and Star Trek: First Contact. As producer of TNG in 1994, Moore shared an Emmy Award nomination when the series was nominated as Outstanding Drama Series that year.

Happy 2026 Birthday to Marc Okrand!
(Image Credit: Lieven L. Litaer)
Happy birthday to Marc Okrand!
Marc Okrand is the inventor of the Klingon language. He initially created the Vulcan dialogue in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. He was hired by Paramount Pictures to invent the language and coach the actors on Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Okrand’s basis for the Klingon language came from the few samples spoken in Star Trek: The Motion Picture which were made up by James Doohan. He is also famous as the author of The Klingon Dictionary and all its addenda.
On Disc 2 of the Star Trek III: The Search for Spock DVD, Okrand said he was asked to create Klingonese for scenes that had already been shot in English. During post-production, he turned off the sound and observed the actors’ lip movements as they spoke their lines. From these movements, he developed new vocal “sounds” for the actors to dub over their original English. He was asked to do the same for Spock and Saavik in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, during their brief discussion about Kirk in the Torpedo Bay. Okrand was also interviewed on 21 August 1991 for the TNG Season 5 DVD special feature “Alien Speak” (“The Klingon Linguist”).
Okrand previously worked with Native American languages, from which he borrowed the unusual Klingon tlh [IPA: /t͡ɬ/] sound (common in North and Central American indigenous languages, in which it is usually transcribed as tl; this is the sound at the end of the word “Nahuatl” as the Aztecs pronounced it themselves).
Recent work includes the Atlantean language which he was hired to do for Disney’s film Atlantis: The Lost Empire, which featured the voice of Leonard Nimoy. He also contributed Klingon and Vulcan dialogue for several episodes of the fourth season of Star Trek: Enterprise. He was a consultant for the Klingon, Romulan and Vulcan languages on 2009’s Star Trek and served as an uncredited consultant on Star Trek Into Darkness.
