Gold Key Comics produced comic books from 1962 to 1984. Although they did produce some original materials, they were primarily noted for creating comic book series based on properties from other sources, such as Disney, Warner Brothers and Hanna-Barbera.

Gold Key, using the pre-established familiar characters, was wildly successful in the 60s, with sales in the millions. This started to change in the 70s as the comic market generally suffered slumping sales. By the late 70s, Gold Key had abandoned the newsstands and were selling them bundled three to a cellophane bag in department store toy departments. It did not help sales. In 1981, the owners of Gold Key, Western Publishing, dropped the Gold Key logo and put the comics under the Whitman imprint, a catchall used for other comics, coloring books and a revived form of Big Little Books. Losses continued to mount and in 1984, Western Publishing  completely left the comic book business.


Note: Issues 15 and 16 were reprints of 7 and 6.


Dell Movie Classic #1230 was an adaptation of the movie, released just in time for the movie premier.

Technically, it was produced by the same company that would do the the adaptation of the TV series. Dell had a successful partnership with Western Publishing that ended in 1962. Western then started its own comic book line, Gold Key Comics.

  England's World Distributors produced a large format weekly comic called TV Tornado. Each issue was oversized (11 3/4" x 9"), ran for 20 pages, and sold for 6 pence and featured comic strips and illustrated stories featuring popular British television shows such as Batman, Bonanza, Green Hornet, The Saint, The Mysterons and of course, Voyage. The comic strips were, for the most part, reprints of US syndicated newspaper comics that predated than the TV show they tied into, and the cover art did not necessarily reflect the contents of that issue.

The series started with #1 January 1967 and ran to #88 September 1968. The title then merged  with another magazine, TV21.
