Power Records PR45 STAR TREK "Dinosaur Planet"(1979) is different from most of the "record and comic book" series.
It's one of two tales published after the release of Star Trek the Motion Picture, showing the crew in the grey and beige uniforms from the film.
However, the Enterprise itself is rendered as an amalgam of the TV series & movie versions.
And phasers and other tech are incorrectly-illustrated all the way through the story.
Neither of these tales were produced by Neal Adams' Continuity Associates, as all the previous tv show-based stories were.
Instead, Kirby Martin & Associates, a company that handled licensing art on merchandise like coffee mugs, t-shirts, and lunchboxes, was brought in to package the graphics.
Pavel Chekov, who was not on any of the previous Power Records, makes his audio debut here.
And Hikaru Sulu, who was illustrated as African-American in previous Power Records comics is finally rendered correctly as Japanese!
