==The Covers==
There were at least 3 printings, with covers shown below. The 1st printing (May 1984) was the only one with that artwork. A 2nd printing in Aug. 1984 used new artwork, and omits the author's name from the cover (this cover is uncredited, but almost certainly by Wilson). A 3rd printing, of 200 copies in Aug. 1985, keeps the artwork of the previous printing, but uses a different design layout, which includes the author's name. Another slight variant exists (4th printing?) with a cover identical to the 3rd printing, but with a white background.
 
 Image:Enterprise_Regained,_1st_printing.jpg|Cover, first printing: "For the zine’s cover, I couldn’t afford color. I was publishing on my parents’ office Xerox machine! So I xeroxed a photo of the Enterprise (I think from the STTMP Souvenir Program Book center spread), trimmed with scissors and pasted over the Starfleet Delta, which I formed with 4pt layout tape on thin graph paper. I printed it on canary yellow paper. All copies with this cover were printed at home on my parents’ office copier, and all artwork was thus reproduced from the original by Xerox. I did 25-50 copies of this [yellow] one, and then my parents said “enough.” If I was going to mass-produce, I needed to do it right and go to a real printer." Steven H.

I though it was better to emphasize the people, rather than the ship, and make it clear this was a Saavik story. This master used a half-tone of my original, which was charcoal. Haven’t found that artwork yet, but hope to, as the half-tone lost some of the detail. Copies with this cover have half-tones of my original pencils on the interior. I believe 200 copies were printer. Maybe 400?" Steven H. Wilson, The Art of Enterprise Regained; archive link (April 15, 2013)

For this edition, to save money, I went with pen and ink for the interior illos." Steven H. Wilson, The Art of Enterprise Regained; archive link (April 15, 2013)

==Sample Interior==
 
File:Enterpriseregainedart.jpg| "The first illustration I ever did of Kevin Carson (left) and Terry Metcalfe in their original Trek context. This was pencil on a page from my sketchbook. I later did a pen and ink version, tracing it on a light table. I was never as happy with that one. The smoky-looking constructs show the influence Richard Powers had on me at the time. I was so taken with his illustrations for Heinlein’s Number of the Beast." Steven H. Wilson, The Art of Enterprise Regained; archive link (April 15, 2013)
