About this Issue

Star Trek: Voyager #14 holds a meaningful place in Trek comics history as the first comic-book appearance of Seven of Nine, one of the most culturally resonant characters to emerge from the entire Star Trek franchise. Published in February 1998, it arrived while Seven was still a fresh addition to the television series — her television debut in 'Scorpion, Part II' had aired only months before — making this issue the medium's earliest attempt to translate her de-assimilation arc onto the printed page. The issue dramatizes the precise narrative hinge point of Season 4: Kes has departed and Janeway is actively working to integrate the former Borg drone into the crew, a dynamic the comic uses as more than backdrop by making Seven's Borg-derived immunity to alien pheromones central to the plot. As one of only fifteen issues in the entire Marvel/Paramount Voyager run, it also stands as part of a brief, complete body of work that represents the only monthly comic-book iteration of Voyager ever published.

History

The Marvel/Paramount Comics imprint was born in 1996 when Paramount Pictures signed a deal with Marvel to produce licensed comics based on Star Trek and Mission: Impossible, simultaneously displacing DC Comics and Malibu Comics from their respective Trek titles. The Voyager monthly series — the first Voyager comic ever published — ran for fifteen issues from November 1996 through March 1998, with series regular writer Laurie S. Sutton joined on issues #14 and #15 by co-writer Gwen L. Sutton. Penciler Terry Pallot, inker Al Milgrom, colorist Matt Webb, and letterer Chris Eliopoulos rounded out the production team, with editor Tim Tuohy overseeing the title under executive editor Bob Harras. Marvel's financial difficulties in 1998 led the company to relinquish the Star Trek license by mutual agreement with Paramount, and the Voyager series concluded with issue #15 — leaving the subsequent Splashdown miniseries as the only Marvel follow-up before WildStorm inherited the license in 1999.

Trivia · 8 facts

First comic-book appearance of Seven of Nine, the former Borg drone who had debuted on television in the Star Trek: Voyager Season 4 premiere 'Scorpion, Part II' just months earlier.
Published February 1998 by Marvel Comics under the Paramount Comics banner; cover and interior art by Terry Pallot (pencils) and Al Milgrom (inks).
Written by Laurie S. Sutton and Gwen L. Sutton — the only issue of the run with dual writing credits, beginning a two-issue closing arc titled 'Survival of the Fittest.'
Story is set at stardate 51019.3 and explicitly frames the post-'Scorpion' status quo: Kes has left the ship and Janeway has begun integrating Seven of Nine into the crew.
Plot involves the Orsorian aliens Caitra/Katirus — shape-shifting sirens who enthrall crew members through pheromone-like influence — with Seven of Nine's Borg physiology rendering her immune, a plot thread carried forward into issue #15.
Issue #14 is the second-to-last installment of the entire fifteen-issue Marvel Voyager monthly series, placing it at the very end of a short-lived but historically complete publishing run.
The Marvel/Paramount Comics imprint that published this issue lasted only about two years (1996–1998), ending when Marvel relinquished the Star Trek license amid financial difficulties; WildStorm then acquired the rights in 1999.
No known reprint of this specific issue has been identified; earlier issues in the Marvel Voyager run (e.g., issues #1–2) were collected by Eaglemoss in their Star Trek Graphic Novel Collection, but coverage of the later issues in that reprint program is unconfirmed.
