Star Trek #42

Shore leave turns complicated in this 1993 DC entry in the ongoing Star Trek series, subtitled "The Trouble with Shore Leave…" The cover by Rod Whigham and Jerome Moore drops you right into the chaos: a purple-skinned, blue-haired alien wielding a wrench leaps into a brawl with a snarling, spike-headed creature, while two Starfleet officers in red uniforms watch from the corner with expressions that land somewhere between alarm and weary disbelief. It's a punchy snapshot of adventure gone sideways, brought to life by the creative team of Howard Weinstein, Whigham, and Arne Starr.
