Star Trek: The Next Generation #40

In "Bone of Contention," the Enterprise finds itself caught between diplomatic tension and duty when Sztazzan commander Remaad demands they leave his territory—despite Captain Picard’s refusal to abandon his away team stranded on a derelict vessel. With Picard taking command of the main section and Riker leading the saucer section to safety, the crew faces a high-stakes standoff that tests loyalty and leadership. Written by Michael Jan Friedman and illustrated by Peter Krause, with inks by Pablo Marcos and colors by Tom McCraw, this 1992 issue features a cover by Jason Palmer and Karl Kesel.
