Star Trek #24

From the bridge of the Enterprise, Admiral Kirk stands before the main viewscreen as a massive, insectoid alien creature fills the display, declaring with mock courtesy that it will be "taking over your ship" — a tense opening image that sets the stage perfectly for "Double Blind, Part One." Jim Starlin's cover art uses a striking silhouette-versus-close-up contrast to make the alien's sheer scale feel genuinely menacing. With Diane Duane writing and Tom Sutton and Ricardo Villagrán on interior art, this March 1986 DC issue promises exactly the kind of high-stakes, alien-encounter storytelling that made this run a treat for Trek fans.
