Star Trek #61

DC's Star Trek #61 (1994) carries the intriguing story title "Door in the Cage" and its cover art by Russell Walks sets a tense, atmospheric tone — a Starfleet woman leveling a phaser, two armored Klingon warriors poised behind her, and a snarling white cat-like creature prowling in the foreground, all beneath the ghostly, looming visage of what appears to be a Talosian. Inset at lower left, a contemplative Spock completes a scene that feels pulled from two very different corners of Trek lore. With the "Return to Talos!" banner promising something genuinely intriguing, this issue — written by Steven H. Wilson with interior art by Rod Whigham and Arne Starr — is a compelling slice of 1994 Trek comics storytelling.
