Satire Trek Comicordance was "piled and wrotten" by Henry Roll and contains 22 pages. On the cover: "A Portal Parody," which is a reference to Roll's zine Portal. The subtitle on the title page is: "Of Peeples, Platzes & Thingies."

Satire Trek Comicordance is a parody of the famous Star Trek Concordance, edited by Bjo Trimble.

This zine was published by Mathom House, which was operated by the Trimbles, which means this fanwork had their approval and cooperation.

From the introduction:

The Star Trek Concordance is a fanzine encyclopedia to the Star Trek universe. This is NOT the Concordance. This is the COMICORDANCE. This is but a pale screwed up parody of the original. Everything they did right we do wrong. We distort juggle and misrepresent the facts. A parody is not an attack on the original but a manic distortion designed to provide amusement, hopefully, to those who know and love the subject. Gene Roddenberry, the staff and the actors have regularly shown a keen sense of humor as witnessed in the Blooper reel. In this spirit the Comicordance was devised as sort of an ersatz plastic blooper reel. If you are not amused then,sigh, we have failed. We've tried in our own little way to add one small Jesters planet to Roddenberry's brave new universe.

The Illos

Much of the art were direct parodies of the art in Star Trek Concordance, with additions/alterations by Henry Roll. The artists' names listed were riffs on the original artists' names (shown below in parenthesis).
