Star Trek #12

The concluding chapter of "The Trial of James T. Kirk" arrives with this September 1990 DC issue, and the cover captures the tension perfectly — Kirk in his Starfleet red lunges forward while Spock, McCoy, and a stern-faced Klingon crowd the frame behind him, all eyes intense with the weight of a verdict hanging in the air. Writer Peter David brings his sharp storytelling to this three-part arc, with interior art by Gordon Purcell and Arne Starr, while the cover itself is rendered by Mark Bright and Keith Wilson. If you've been following Kirk's courtroom ordeal, this is the payoff issue you've been waiting for.
