Star Trek #44

DC's Star Trek #44 (1993) promises high-stakes danger with its striking cover by Rod Whigham and Jerome Moore — two figures in Starfleet-era attire are shown tumbling in a disorienting freefall above a vast, eerie alien cityscape, with the tagline "A Sentence of Death for All Who Dare a… Haunted Planet!" setting an ominous tone. The vertigo-inducing composition makes it immediately clear that whatever awaits on this world, the odds are not in the crew's favor. Written by Howard Weinstein with art from Gordon Purcell and inks by Carlos Garzón, "Acceptable Risk" looks like a tense, atmospheric entry in this DC Trek run.
