Star Trek items up for auction

-

LOS ANGELES — A longtime TV memorabili­a collector is putting props and costumes from Batman, Star Trek and other shows up for auction.

James Comisar said 400 items from his collection will be for sale. That includes the Riddler’s green jacket from the first episode of Batman and a protective glass “bat shield” from the camp 1960s series.

Also going on the block are the egg-shaped spaceship from Mork & Mindy, a bag of Walter White-concocted fake drugs from Breaking Bad and a stalking costume worn by the title serial killer in Dexter.

More than 50 lots of Star Trek costumes, sketches, jewelry and correspond­ence acquired from series costume designer William Ware Theiss will be part of the sale. Among them is the toga worn by William Shatner’s Capt. Kirk in a kissing scene with Nichelle Nichols’ Lt. Uhura.

Prop Store, a film and TV memorabili­a company, is hosting the auction on Dec. 1 at its southern California facility.
