This fall will bring us a number of new Star Trek hardcovers, including the Voyager anniversary books we previewed last week — and today we have a look inside two of this year’s franchise art history publications, The Art of Star Trek: Discovery and The Artistry of Dan Curry!
November brings The Artistry of Dan Curry, a 204-page hardcover tome which will showcase some of the best work of longtime franchise contributor Dan Curry, who worked extensively on The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager (along with a few episodes of Star Trek: Enterprise), earning 19 Emmy Award nominations and wins along the way.
This hardback volume showcasing the diverse work of one of Star Trek’s most talented alumni, Dan Curry, whose contributions to the TV shows and movies include visual effects, practical effects, title design and weaponry.
With more than 50 years of history to its name, Star Trek is one of the world’s most treasured popular culture institutions, and seven-time Emmy award winner Dan Curry is one of its most enduring talents. His amazing contributions have ranged from directing, title design and concept art to practical on-set effects and weapon design. From The Next Generation to Enterprise, Dan’s incredibly diverse Star Trek work has resulted in some of the series’ most memorable moments.
Star Trek: The Artistry of Dan Curry reveals the many and varied techniques used to produce some of the most spectacular visual effects used in the various series, while Dan also goes in-depth to divulge the secrets of some of his own personal favorite creations. This is a book for all Star Trek fans to treasure!
Star Trek: The Artistry of Dan Curry will arrive on November 10 and can be preordered now.
Arriving in December is The Art of Star Trek: Discovery from longtime Trek behind-the-scenes authors Paula M. Block and Terry J. Erdmann, chronicling the art design and concept creations from the first two seasons of the CBS All Access series in a 192-page hardcover.
Star Trek: Discovery, the newest chapter in the Star Trek Universe, follows the exploits of Vulcan-raised science officer Michael Burnham and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery as they boldly go where no one has gone before.
The Art of Star Trek Discovery explores behind the scenes of CBS’s hit show, with cast and crew interviews, set photography, concept art and storyboards. With exclusive content from the first two seasons, this book is a must-have for every Star Trek fan.
Originally scheduled for a mid-2020 release, the book was shifted to a December 22 date due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic — but you can preorder it today so it drops to your door from the mycelial network for Christmas.
