Star Trek #20

DC's Star Trek #20 puts Sulu front and center in a story titled "Giri" — and the cover by Tom Sutton and Bill Wray makes the stakes vivid: Sulu, dressed in traditional East Asian garb, fights through a gauntlet of massive mechanical arms and crossed swords while shielding a woman in white, with a robed adversary looming behind them and two figures watching tensely through a circular viewport. The tagline "Sulu Goes Home to Learn the Meaning of Honor!" promises a deeply personal adventure for the helmsman, rooted in duty and heritage. With Woods, Sutton, and Villagrán at the helm, this 1985 issue is a fine showcase of DC's thoughtful run with the Trek universe.
