Mad Magazine 
Mad Magazine (#115, December 1967) had a parody of Star Trek called "Star Blecch!".  The title alteration followed two parodies of the films and spin-off series.  The October 1976 issue (#186) featured a musical parody called "Keep On Trekkin'", with Kirk, Spock, and  dancing on the cover ; thirty-five years later, in June 2011 (#509), that image would appear at the end of Dancing With The Star Wars (a  satire using Star Wars characters) advertising a similar Trek treatment the next week - but Kirk and Spock now have the faces of Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto, to which a senile-looking William Shatner, sitting in a motorized scooter onstage, takes great offense. Kirk appeared again, "green woman" in tow, in the very next issue (#510), one of many well-known "captains" (including , , , , and Ahab) to whom  subject Captain America is compared unfavorably; the character's likeness is once again that of TOS-era Shatner. The magazine will frequently insert Trek references into stories with Trek actors: for example, the beginning of the Samantha Who? parody in the May 2008 issue showed Tim Russ's character with Vulcan ears and a Starfleet combadge on his jacket (a later scene showed two Trekkies ogling the main character, played by Christina Applegate), while in a June 2003 parody of the X-Men film X2, Professor X (Patrick Stewart), asked how he could stand to be around so many "mutants", replies that, after enough Star Trek conventions, it was easy – or other science-fiction franchises: Worf, Quark, Odo, and Morn could be seen in the background in various parts of a May 1995 X-Files parody, while the beginning of an April 1998 spoof of Alien Resurrection showed a group of famous sci-fi aliens concealed in pods behind the main characters: one of them is Spock, clearly looking in the direction of his mother. Mad has recognized Treks contributions - on the cover of the November 2002 issue, celebrating the magazine's 50th Anniversary, the fifty different images used to create "5" and "0" include Alfred E. Neuman as a Vulcan (from the "Keep On Trekkin'" cover) and a Ferengi.

The  characters appeared on the cover of issue 115 in September 1993.

Marvel Comics

X-Men
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Marvel included Star Trek-inspired characters and artwork depicting members of the Shi Ar Empire, most notably "Captain K'rrk", commander of a multi-species crewed Shi'ar vessel.

K'rrk, like his Trek inspiration, was promoted to admiral later in his career.

In the late '90s-early 2000s, another Shi'ar captain was introduced as Captain P'crrd. In keeping with his namesake, he was bald.

After their introduction to the Shi Ar, the X-Men incorporated "hard light" technology into their Danger Room training environment, rendering it functionally equivalent to a holodeck.

In one issue of Excalibur, the character Peter Wisdom makes fun of Professor Xavier by being pushed around in a wheelchair and wearing a bald cap, spouting out various Xavier-originated phrases before saying "Make it so!", one of Picard's catchphrases.
