Hey there, Trek fans! 🌟 This is Jim from Trek World, and today we're diving into a unique piece of Star Trek history. What do Dan Curtis, bubblegum, and vending machines have in common with Star Trek? 🤔 Join me to find out!
In this video, we explore the fascinating story behind the Dan Curtis giveaways, a series of mini comics from 1974 that became collectible treasures. 📚 These comics, measuring approximately 6 by 3 inches and 22 pages long, were distributed through vending machines and bubblegum trading cards. The first issue, a reprint of a Dark Shadows comic, was copyrighted by Dan Curtis, and the name stuck for the entire series.
We'll discuss the rarity and value of these collectibles, which range from $5 to $85 depending on condition and completeness. 💵 The holy grail is a complete set of nine in near-mint condition, a rare find due to the vending machine distribution.
