The graphic novel, Star Trek: The City on the Edge of Forever, combines the 5 issue series that gives us a first ever look at how author, Harlan Ellison, wanted his story to be told. Star Trek fans everywhere know that Harlan Ellison was never happy with what CBS & Gene Roddenberry did with his original script for the TV series. If you don’t know this than you haven’t been around for the past 20-50 years, because the man was not quiet about it. So about 15-20 years ago the book, The City on the Edge of Forever: The Original Teleplay that Became the Classic Star Trek Episode, was published that gave a us a glimpse at what he really wanted us to see on the screen. Now thanks to IDW we can actually visualize it in the world of comics.
