While the dead tree version continues to disappoint, some really great blogs are starting to flourish at the Los Angeles Times. My personal favorite is Hero Complex, a blog that’s all about science fiction, graphic novels, and other things that make Geek culture awesome.

This morning, Hero Complex’s Geoff Boucher reached into the Times’ archives, and pulled out this photo of Cal Tech students protesting the cancellation of Star Trek at Paramount in 1968.

Groovy, man. Like, click it to embiggen, dad.
