Star Trek #16

From Gold Key's 1972 run of Star Trek comes this vivid issue subtitled "Missing in Action — On a Dark Age Planet!" The cover by George Wilson drops the crew into a medieval melee, with a figure in a Starfleet uniform wielding a sword against armored and robed combatants while chaos erupts around a castle backdrop — and photo insets of Spock and Kirk in the upper corner remind you exactly whose adventure this is. With Len Wein writing and Angelo Todaro and Alberto Giolitti on interior art, "Day of the Inquisitors" promises the kind of high-concept, fish-out-of-water tension that made Gold Key's Star Trek comics a lively companion to the TV series.
