Star Trek #15

A desolate, alien landscape stretches across this striking 1991 DC issue, where a small away team in environmental suits surveys the ruins of what appears to be a devastated civilization, a shuttle hovering in the smoke-filled sky above them. The cover tagline — "End of the Worthy?" — lends real urgency to the scene, teasing the third chapter of "The Return of the Worthy" from the writing team of Peter David and Bill Mumy. Jerome Moore's cover art captures a mood of eerie aftermath, with crumbling spires and harsh crimson skies making this one of the more atmospheric entries in DC's run.
