History Many early Trekkies were also fans of ''The Man from U.N.C.L.E.'' (1964–1968), another show with science fiction elements and a very devoted audience. The first ''Star Trek'' fanzine, ''Spockanalia'', appeared in September 1967, including the first published fan fiction based on the show. Roddenberry, who was aware of and encouraged such activities, a year later estimated that 10,000 wrote or read fanzines. The mainstream science fiction magazine '' If'' published a poem about Spock, accompanying a Virgil Finlay portrait of the Vulcan. Perhaps the first large gathering of fans occurred in April 1967. When Leonard Nimoy appeared as Spock as grand marshal of the Medford Pear Blossom Festival parade in Oregon, he hoped to sign hundreds of autographs but thousands of people appeared; after being rescued by police, "I made sure never to appe ...
