Star Trek #45

Trelane — the gleefully imperious "Squire of Gothos" — crashes onto the Enterprise bridge with arms flung wide and a smug grin that promises nothing good for the crew members recoiling around him. The cover, penciled by Rod Whigham and inked by Jerome Moore, captures that unsettling mix of theatrical charm and genuine menace that makes the character so compelling, with the tagline warning of "lethal new games you simply must play." Written by Steven H. Wilson with art by Rob Davis and Arne Starr, this 1993 DC issue looks like a genuinely fun ride for anyone who's ever wanted to see that particular brand of omnipotent mischief revisited.
