Review of
Star Trek Fotonovel #3 The Trouble With
Tribbles, by David Gerrold ISBN 055311347x
Five out of five stars
One of the all-time favorite episodes in graphic novel
form
The episode of
the Star Trek original series, “The Trouble with Tribbles” appeared in the
powerhouse second season and immediately became one of the highest rated episodes
of the series. It is essentially a comedy overlaying the serious issue of the
intense rivalry between the Federation and the Klingons. The lines and sight
gags are delivered very well, who can forget Captain Kirk buried hip-deep in
Tribbles and the major pun delivered by Scotty at the end.
This graphic
novelization of the episode captures the magic of the episode, it is easy to
conjure up the scenes and how the dialog was delivered. I read this novel and
had the immediate and powerful urge to watch the episode again. It is arguably
the best acted by all players episode in the series and is certainly one of the
best written.
