Star Trek #49

The cover of this 1993 DC series installment says it all with the bold tagline "Death in the Name of Peace!" — the USS Enterprise-A hangs in the void as a Klingon Bird-of-Prey explodes in a dramatic burst of fire and debris, with a massive alien vessel looming ominously in the background. Cover pencils by Rod Whigham and inks by Carlos Garzón give the space battle a kinetic, almost tactile intensity that pulls you right into the conflict. "The Peacekeeper, Part One" promises the kind of morally charged Star Trek storytelling that made this DC run a genuine treat for fans of the franchise.
