From a 1977 ad in The Clipper Trade Ship #2:
"I HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY, TO THIS SHIP, TO THAT MAN ON THE BRIDGE" #2! This issue is bigger and better than ever with the continuation of the fantastic story, "The Father Figure." Also contained in the zine is the other half of the exciting story "The Klingon Possession." A new story which will be complete in this issue will be introduced. Titled "A Day Without Incident," it tells the author's view of what the Enterprise crew does on a regular day. We also have another edition of Mr. Spock's Art From Outer Space which contains many original drawings by the talented artist Jim Wilson. There's also a catalog from a newly organized Star Trek company which has over 70 pictures and over 60 slides for sale. Going along with the episodes we cover "Charlie X" in our episode trivia quiz. To top this off there's part 1 of "The Spaceships of Star Trek." Order at $1.50 per copy. #1 has already sold out!
From The Clipper Trade Ship #17 (October 1977): "'I Have a Responsibility, to This Ship, to That Man on the Bridge' #2 has been cancelled due to printing costs. No further copies will be printed."
