Star Trek: The Next Generation #79

DC's long-running Star Trek: The Next Generation series reaches issue #79 with this character-focused cover by Gordon Purcell and Terry Pallot, presenting a mosaic of familiar faces from the Enterprise crew — Picard commanding the center, flanked by Riker, Worf, Troi, and a partially cropped figure at left — each rendered with careful attention to likeness. The title "Artificiality" hints at intriguing questions about identity and reality, well-suited territory for this crew. Writer Michael Jan Friedman, artist Gordon Purcell, and inker Terry Pallot close out their 1996 work on a series that consistently delivered solid adventure for Trek fans in comics form.
