If you know anything about Star Trek in the 1990s, then you'll recognize the name Doug Drexler. Doug worked on every Star Trek production from 1990 to 2005.
But before he started working in Hollywood on The Next Generation, Doug was a Star Trek fan in Manhattan in the 1970s. In fact, he worked for the first Star Trek merchandise store, the Federation Trading Post.
That led him to contributing to his first book, the Star Fleet Medical Reference Manual in 1977 and later to Gold Key's Star Trek comic books line.
His stories from this period are fun and entertaining. Doug was a Star Trek fan who would go on to live the life we all wish we had...working on Star Trek productions!
And it all started for him in the 1970s.
