Template:Realworld Star Trek Fotonovels were a series of twelve books, produced by Mandala Productions and published by Bantam Books during the years 1977-1978. These books were essentially re-tellings of Star Trek: The Original Series episodes in question, with word balloons and text being arranged over the stills from the episode in the style of a comic book or graphic novel. Something of a short-term fad, such books were conceived in the days before the advent of home video, most notably VHS, and quickly fell out of fashion thereafter. No specific order was observed, be it production, or broadcast order-wise. Instead, a random selection, stemming from all three seasons of the Original Series was selected for adaptation, resulting in all three seasons being represented in the twelve-issue run of the publication.
Still, the first six titles of the Bantam editions saw international releases in The Netherlands and Germany, while at least the second title in the series saw a release in the Japanese language.
