About the series
In this 2009 one-shot from IDW, writer Stuart Moore and artist Mike Hawthorne turn the spotlight on Star Trek’s most deceptively adorable menace: the Tribbles. A standalone entry in the Alien Spotlight series, it offers a focused, character-driven look at the fluffy, purring creatures from the perspective of those who know them best—and fear them most. Moore and Hawthorne deliver a tight, engaging story that deepens the lore around these iconic aliens without relying on the usual crew cameos. It’s a quick, satisfying read for fans who’ve ever wondered what makes a Tribble tick.
