<\/p> $\"\"$ <\/a>SFSignal<\/a> reminds us all that today in 1966, the very first episode of STAR TREK aired (\u201cThe Man Trap\u201d). Can\u2019t remember which episode of STAR TREK was the first one I ever saw, but watching it in syndication after-school was a seminal part of my early years. Seen here: my 2nd grade school photo, circa 1976, rocking my prized homemade Mr. Spock shirt, with insignia patch sewn by my mother. It\u2019s amazing how large my dome was even at that tender age. Fast forward to 2006 \u2014 that same kid illustrated this triptych for David R. George III\u2019s STAR TREK trilogy commemorating the 40th Anniversary of the show (published by Pocket Books<\/a>). And yeah, it really was a thrill. Live long and prosper, Trek. \ud83d\ude42
