Star Trek #14 (Gold Key Comics, 1972) - Warp This Retro Rave to Your Collection!
🖖 Sales Pitch Bolder Than Kirk’s Best Pickup Line
Attention, starship scavengers and Trek diehards! Star Trek #14 from Gold Key’s 1967-1979 run is a bonkers Bronze Age blast—Kirk, Spock, and the Enterprise crew caught in a cosmic caper that’s loopier than a time paradox. It’s rarer than a cooperative Klingon and more fun than Scotty’s secret whisky stash. Nab it now, or you’ll be grumpier than Bones after a redshirt roll call!
🌌 Why This Comic’s a Galactic Gem
  • Story: Titled “The Enterprise Mutiny,” this issue throws the crew into chaos when a mysterious alien influence sparks a full-on mutiny aboard the Enterprise. Kirk’s gotta outsmart his own team, Spock’s logic is tested, and it’s all as wild as a Q-hosted game show. Written by Len Wein with art by Alberto Giolitti, it’s Gold Key’s signature mix of zany and thrilling.
  • Vibe: 1970s Trek at its quirkiest—think TOS with a splash of Saturday morning cartoon chaos. Perfect for reading while pretending your pen is a tricorder.
  • Rarity: Gold Key’s 61-issue run is a collector’s playground, and #14’s mutiny plot makes it a standout. High-grade copies are as scarce as a Vulcan at a comedy club.
💸 Current Value
As of April 2025:
  • Near Mint (NM): $30-$45
  • Very Fine (VF): $18-$25
  • Fine (FN): $8-$12
  • Good/Very Good (G/VG): $4-$7
  • CGC 9.8: $100-$150 (like finding a tribble-free starship).
    Prices based on eBay, MyComicShop, and comic shop trends. It’s not as common as Spock’s quips, so don’t dawdle!
📈 Expected Value
  • Trek Fever: Star Trek’s fanbase is thriving with new shows (Starfleet Academy, anyone?) and movies keeping the love alive.
  • 2025 Outlook: Events like SDCC (July 2025) or Trek cons could spike demand for Gold Key classics.
  • Gold Key Surge: These non-canon oddballs are hot for their retro charm, and #14’s crew drama pops.
  • Prediction: NM copies could hit $45-$60 in 12-18 months; lower grades might reach $10-$15. A 2026 Star Trek 60th anniversary could send it soaring!
🖖 Key Characters
  • James T. Kirk: Fighting to keep his ship, charm dialed to 11.
  • Spock: Logic on overdrive, sniffing out the alien mind-meddler.
  • Bones McCoy: Grumbling through the chaos—Gold Key gives him a juicy role here (unlike some issues where he’s MIA).

  • Enterprise Crew: Sulu, Uhura, or Scotty likely get roped into the mutiny—expect tense bridge scenes.
  • Alien Influence: A one-off troublemaker, no big debuts, but it’s creepy enough to rival a Talosian.
