'Star Trek' made its NBC debut on this day in 1966. #StarTrek60
The Edward Ardizzone illustrated cover for Clive King's "Stig of the Dump" showing Stig and the lad who befriends him hanging out in the bushes at the local tip. The kid is now wearing a yellow Starfleet uniform and looks a bit like a young Kirk, while Stig is dressed in a blue Starfleet uniform and is clutching his spear. Stig also has a bowly haircut and Vulcan ears. The title of the book has been changed to "Spock of the Dump".
