Star Trek #17

Sulu, Uhura, and Bearclaw take center stage in this 1985 DC entry in the Star Trek ongoing series, with the cover tagline making clear they're operating without Kirk's backup — a bold premise that gives three familiar crew members a chance to shine. Tom Sutton and Klaus Janson deliver a tense, action-packed cover scene: Sulu wielding a blade, Uhura at his side in Starfleet red, and a formidably armored, weapon-brandishing figure looming over them amid chaos and fallen machinery. L. B. Kellogg's story — titled "The D'Artagnan Three" — promises a swashbuckling dynamic worthy of that literary nod, with Sutton and Ricardo Villagrán handling interior art duties.
