Star Trek: The Next Generation #8
In "The Battle Within," Riker takes a daring solo mission aboard the Mezartine ship to rescue Data and reclaim his consciousness from a hostile mind-link, only to discover that the key to his return lies not in technology or tactics—but in the unexpected help of young Randy. Written by Michael Jan Friedman and brought to life by Gordon Purcell’s art, with inks by Pablo Marcos and colors by Julianna Ferriter, this 1990 DC Star Trek: The Next Generation issue delivers a tense, character-driven sci-fi mystery. The cover by Jerome Moore captures the moment’s intensity with sharp, dramatic lines.
