Star Trek: Early Voyages #5

A heavily armed, armored figure dominates the foreground of Patrick Zircher and Greg Adams's cover for this 1997 Marvel series, bearing down on a Starfleet officer in blue and a red-haired crew member in gold who scramble desperately to defend themselves. The cover's bold tagline — "They're armed, they're savage… they're Vulcan!" — promises a very different look at that familiar species in the era of the Enterprise's earliest missions. Dan Abnett and Ian Edginton's "Cloak & Dagger" looks like a tense, action-packed chapter in this pre-Kirk chapter of Star Trek history.
