Star Trek: The Next Generation #71

A sense of urgency and quiet tension fills this 1995 DC entry in their long-running Next Generation series, subtitled "Devices and Desires." The cover by Gordon Purcell and Terry Pallot places a Starfleet captain in a red uniform and a red-haired woman in a teal Starfleet uniform at the center, sharing what appears to be a small device, while behind them a blond civilian scrambles amid a fiery explosion, and a fallen Klingon figure lies motionless in the foreground. It's a compelling composition that layers personal connection against outright chaos, making this opening chapter of "War and Madness" — written by Michael Jan Friedman — feel immediately consequential.
