Star Trek #46

Star Trek #46 brings a refreshingly lighthearted energy to the crew's ongoing adventures, with a cover titled "Shore Leave!" showing several Starfleet officers in red uniforms eagerly heading out — one carrying a hockey stick and duffel bag, another hefting a large pack, all moving through what appears to be a starship corridor with the stars of space visible behind them. The scene, rendered by cover penciler Joe Brozowski and inker Bob Lewis, captures that rare, welcome moment when the crew gets to set duty aside and just be themselves. Writer Mike Carlin and artist Tom Sutton deliver the interior story "Getaway," promising a change of pace from the usual life-or-death stakes of deep space.
