Star Trek: The Next Generation #1

DC's ongoing Star Trek: The Next Generation series launched in October 1989 with this handsome first issue, promising "all-new missions where no one has gone before." Jerome Moore's cover assembles the full Enterprise-D crew — Captain Picard, Riker, Worf, Troi, Data, and others — in a sweeping portrait composition beneath the gleaming NCC-1701-D as it streaks through a starfield, with a mysterious group of figures visible on an alien landscape below. Inside, writer Michael Jan Friedman and artist Pablo Marcos take the crew on a fresh adventure in "Return to Raimon," making this a fine starting point for fans eager to follow the Next Generation cast beyond the TV screen.
