Gene Roddenberry

While the new hit Star Trek movie is still in theaters, we should reflect on just how important Gene Roddenberry's original series was to one of the most important civil rights leaders in modern history - Martin Luther King, Jr.

Roddenberry told better stories than are told in the Lost Universe comic series, yet his vision makes the pages a memorable read for any of his fans. While Lost Universe lacks much, Roddenberry's name is what made it in the end.

The first issue written by Lawrence Watt-Evans is based on a story concept by Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. Lost Universe is a good way to follow the Star Trek kings other writings.

One of science fiction's greatest characters still lives on in the memories of his fans and admirers, and the legacy of the writer who created him.
