Toyfare: The Toy Magazine #59

In this wild 2002 issue of Toyfare: The Toy Magazine, Space Lincoln sends Kirk and the crew back to the modern era with a bizarre mission: save the whales—by way of a strip club, a surprise Marvel crossover, and a generous distribution of tribbles. With a cast of guest stars from the Marvel Universe and a crew full of misfired plans, the mission takes a surreal turn when the heroes begin vanishing one by one. Written by Pat McCallum, Tom Root, Doug Goldstein, Zach Oat, and Rob Bricken, and illustrated by the same team, this issue blends sci-fi absurdity with a distinctly 2002 flavor, all wrapped in a cover by Pat McCallum.
