Fan Comments

Tucked in between two stories, this Shelley Butler between pages 6 and 7 is a horizontal threesome of Spock, Kirk and McCoy on the bridge. (Part of Uhura is in the background.) Kirk is on his command chair and almost completely drawn head to boots. His attention is riveted on Spock as is McCoy's. Both men look as ifthey are expecting some information from Spock. Spock is shown in profile and appears to be deep in thought as if mulling over what he is going to say. This is an excellent drawing of the three men."[1]

The cover of T'hy'la 17 was rightly called one of the sexiest K/S pictures ever done, and the interior art from that zine, Uhura Watches, will forever be remembered because of the secret message on the bridge plate, "Kirk loves Spock. [2]

How about the two blue ribbons Shelly won in the art show: Best in Show and Critics Choice, and the secret K/S message hidden in one of her fabulous drawings. [3]
