Star Trek #19

This special 1985 issue stands out for a genuinely unique reason: it's written by Walter Koenig, the actor who played Chekov himself, making "Chekov's Choice" a story told from a fascinatingly personal perspective. Dan Spiegle's interior art brings it to life, while the Tom Sutton and Ricardo Villagrán cover places a Starfleet-uniformed Chekov front and center, surrounded by a swirling montage of faces rendered in warm amber and orange tones. It's a striking visual that puts the navigator squarely at the heart of something much larger than himself.
