Star Trek #43

The bold cover title "TRAPPED!" sets an urgent tone for this 1993 DC conclusion, as the bridge of a starship becomes a scene of tension — a figure in a Starfleet red shirt cradles a distressed purple-skinned alien, while another crew member in civilian attire reacts with alarm at his station. Through the viewscreen looms a green Klingon Bird-of-Prey firing weapons, its energy blasts lighting up the darkness of space in a vivid image brought to life by cover pencils from Rod Whigham and inks by Jerome Moore. With Howard Weinstein writing and Gordon Purcell on interior art, this wrap-up issue promises the kind of character-driven tension that made DC's original Star Trek run such a satisfying companion to the film era.
