“You're Dead, Jim”

The striking cover to this 1988 DC issue — penciled by Jerome Moore and inked by Keith Wilson — sets an eerie tone immediately: a ghostly, translucent figure in Starfleet uniform looms large above a spotlight scene where two crew members in red jackets attend to a third colleague collapsed on the ground. The story title "You're Dead, Jim" promises something unsettling at the heart of Peter David's script, brought to life inside by artist Gordon Purcell and inker Ricardo Villagrán. A genuinely compelling entry in DC's Star Trek run that earns its dramatic cover image.
