Star Trek #2

Marvel's adaptation of Star Trek: The Motion Picture continues here, subtitled "The Vengeance of V'ger!" — and the cover by Dave Cockrum and Klaus Janson plunges you straight into the chaos, depicting crew members being swept off their feet by twin searing energy beams that tear across the bridge in a blaze of green and white. The figures caught in V'ger's devastating discharge are rendered with real urgency, capturing the sense that the Enterprise crew faces something far beyond conventional threats. With Marv Wolfman, Gene Roddenberry, and Harold Livingston among the storytelling talent behind this issue, it's a compelling 1980 package for anyone who wanted to relive the film's grandeur panel by panel.
