The First Mission!"All Those Years Ago..." is the first Star Trek: The Original Series annual published by DC Comics. Released in October 1985, it was the first of two annuals written by Mike W. Barr and the fourth of five comics inked by Bob Smith. It was the sole story pencilled by David Ross.

Description[]

"Charting the First Frontier" by Mike W. Barr
One of the stories we had never seen was Kirk's first mission on the Enterprise. This would also be his first meeting with most of the crew, and allow us to show characters that had never been seen in Trek comics before – like Gary Mitchell, the mysterious Number One (whose actress returned to Trek as Nurse Christine Chapel), and – perhaps most intriguing – Captain Christopher Pike...

Summary[]

2285: Kirk reminisces about his first mission aboard the Enterprise...

2264: The first mission of the Enterprise under Captain Kirk is to transport Captain Pike to his next assignment on Draxis II. En route, the Enterprise encounters the Tralmanii, a race that Pike had once dealt with before when he commanded the Enterprise.
