Scarce original story outline for the Star Trek Season Two episode entitled “The Planet Eater,” which would later be renamed The Doomsday Machine, belonging to Linwood Dunn, 8.5 x 11, 14 pages, written by Norman Spinrad, and headed at the bottom of the cover page, “Story Outline, March 6, 1967.” Dunn’s name is written at the top of the cover page, “Lin Dunn c/o Editorial,” with a blue received stamp at the bottom dated April 24, 1967. In fine condition, with a bit of light toning and creasing to cover page. Despite Spinrad’s wishes for the actual doomsday machine to be loaded with many different intimidating looking weapons, due to budgetary reasons, the actual model was a windsock dipped in cement. This same year, Dunn would be nominated for an Emmy award for achievements in cinematography for the show. A very early draft of one of the program’s most intense and well-received episodes.
