Star Trek #48

A tense mystery comes to the Final Frontier in this 1977 Gold Key entry, "Murder on the Enterprise." The cover sets a brooding, suspenseful mood — the U.S.S. Enterprise looms overhead while a Starfleet officer carries a limp figure, surrounded by the haunting close-up faces of a dark-haired man, a pale woman with closed eyes, and an eerie blue-skinned alien. With writing by Arnold Drake and Doug Drexler and artwork by A. McWilliams, this is a genuinely gripping slice of Bronze Age Trek that leans hard into thriller territory.
