Star Trek #19

From Gold Key's Star Trek comes this 1973 adventure that dares the Enterprise crew to press forward against a chilling warning — "Turn back or die" — as they investigate the Haunted Asteroid. George Wilson's cover painting sets an eerie, atmospheric tone: Starfleet crew members scramble across a field of skulls while a swirling, red-haired spectral figure and a blue-skinned apparition loom menacingly overhead, with photo insets of Spock and Kirk anchoring the familiar faces amid the supernatural dread. Written by Arnold Drake with interior art by Alberto Giolitti and Sal Trapani, this issue blends classic Trek's spirit of exploration with something distinctly more unsettling.
