Star Trek #30

Gold Key's Star Trek #30 brings "Death of a Star" to life across a vivid, collage-style cover by Alberto Giolitti, where photo portraits of Spock and Kirk anchor the top corner while the illustrated panels below teem with tension — a robed figure confronted by a crew member, tumbling figures caught in some cosmic upheaval, a giant otherworldly eye, and the Enterprise herself swept up in swirling stellar forces. The tagline "The Last Gasp of a Dying Star" sets a suitably dramatic tone for what Al Moniz has scripted. It's a wonderfully atmospheric slice of mid-1970s Trek, with Giolitti's bold, psychedelic color sense making this issue impossible to overlook on the spinner rack.
