Fan Comments
1998
This is another excellent piece in what has become Shelley’s trademark "flower series. She has absolutely nailed not only their faces, not an easy job by any means, but has managed to capture their emotions as well. Spock is deep in thought or perhaps he’s meditating, hands folded in his characteristic pose; Kirk has a look of longing on his face. The use of light and shadow, the textures, all are done perfectly, and the flowers balance the composition without intruding or drawing attention away from the characters’ faces where it belongs. Lovely, Shelley! [1]

The front cover is "Banded by Roses." Beautiful, beautiful Spock in foreground thinking of Kirk, the smaller background figure. Being in STTMP uniforms, it's the slightly older Kirk and Spock, the characters with even more depth to their relationship, so we feel this depth in Spock's contemplation; and besides, they both look gorgeous. Spock's hands are steepled — we always love seeing his hands. And the flowers Shelley loves to surround them with. [2]
An older Spock dreams of Kirk, banded by roses...[3]

"Captain Spock Dreams" Front cover by Shelley Butler. How could anyone resist a zine that begins with a cover like this? There are flowers and Kirk and Spock resplendent in uniforms from The Motion Picture, all with that enviable trademark Shelley Butler realism! Kirk's eyes are alight—no doubt with wonder at seeing Spock again. His expression is dreamy and preoccupied and his masculine beauty must surely reflect how he is seen in Spock's eyes. Spock is wonderfully drawn. He is thoughtful, but their reunion has erased the lines of Gol from his face. Shelley has left him with a ghost of a frown as he ponders all that has happened. His beautiful and talented hands are steepled in front of him as he contemplates his future with Jim once again at his side. A stunning rendition that no fan of TMP would dare miss. [4]
