Star Trek #15

Marvel's 1981 run of Star Trek delivers a genuinely unsettling cover here, as a massive, red-hued devil-like figure looms in the foreground, its horned silhouette dominating the scene while Spock and McCoy reel back in alarm. The speech bubbles — "That— that CAN'T be… Captain Kirk?" answered by "Oh, but it IS, Doctor!" — set up a mystery that practically demands you open the book. Dave Cockrum's cover pencils give the confrontation real visual punch, and "The Quality of Mercy" promises a story where the crew of the Enterprise faces something deeply wrong with one of their own.
