Neuman et al Collection More SPOILERS for Coming Attractions Cancelled Comics References Periodicals Unexamined References and Periodicals Acknowledgements -- Abstract -------- The Star Trek Comics Checklist is a guide to Star Trek comics published in the US. In addition to comics, you will find references to publications with comics-related articles. Nearly all of the licensed comics have a synopsis. The names of writers and artists, if known, are in parentheses (writer[s]; artist[s]; cover artist[s]). My apologies to colorists and letterers, whose names are not included. I hope to add them to a future version of the checklist. If a noteworthy character or event from a television episode or movie appears in a comic, the title of the episode or film appears in parentheses ("Where No Man Has Gone Before"). Part 6 contains a section on comics which parody Star Trek and are intended for mature readers. Some people may be offended by the titles of these comics. This list is maintained by Mark Martinez (mailto:mlbm@lanl.gov), updated quarterly, and was last modified 30 July 1996. Additions and corrections are appreciated. Collecting Star Trek Comics --------------------------- Star Trek comics are published under licensing agreements with Paramount Pictures. The publication history of Star Trek comics can be divided into distinct eras by publisher: Gold Key Comics, Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Malibu Comics, and Marvel Comics again beginning this fall. All prices mentioned are for Near Mint condition comics. Sixty-one Gold Key comics were published from July 1967 to February 1979. A prospective buyer should consult a current price guide to learn what they are likely to spend for Gold Key comics in near mint condition. Buyers should beware that prices vary widely and some sellers overprice lower grade Gold Key comics because they are still so popular among Trekkie/Trekker collectors. The early issues, particularly the first nine (which have photo covers), are considerably more expensive than later issues ($100-$400). Fortunately, issues 1-38 were reprinted in four volumes as "The Enterprise Logs". Prices for each volume range from $5 to $25, with an average price of about $10. You may have to hunt for them, but "The Enterprise Logs" are less stressful on limited budgets. The release of "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" ushered in the first Marvel era. Marvel Comics published a movie adaptation and eighteen issues beginning in December 1979. With the exception of the movie adaptation and first issue, which may sell for up to $10, these comics are inexpensive, usually priced at $3 or less. Marvel's Star Trek comics didn't sell very well and the series was cancelled in February 1982. DC Comics purchased the Star Trek comics franchise and began publishing in February 1984, following the release of "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan". DC's first Star Trek series produced fifty-six issues, three annuals, two movie adaptations, a two-issue Who's Who reference, and a six-issue mini-series introducing Star Trek: The Next Generation to comics. In November 1988, DC stopped publishing Star Trek comics, revamped and renewed their licensing agreement, and began anew in the fall of 1989 after the release of "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier". For six years, DC published Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation comics. Each series produced eighty issues, six annuals, several movie adaptations, mini-series, and special issues. Two Star Trek graphic novels were also published. DC Comics lost their license to publish Star Trek comics in December 1995. All of the DC issues are reasonably priced. Early issues and annuals will be priced higher, but if you shop around, you should be able to purchase most issues for less than $3. Recent issues should be available at or near cover price. The first Star Trek graphic novel, "Debt of Honor", was originally published in hardcover at $24.95 and was reprinted in trade paperback. DC also published and reprinted several collections of Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation comics. The following collections and graphic novels remain in print and may found in new and used bookstores in addition to comic shops. The Best of Star Trek ($19.95) The Best of Star Trek: The Next Generation ($19.95) Star Trek: The Ashes of Eden ($14.95) Star Trek: Debt of Honor ($14.95) Star Trek: Tests of Courage ($17.95) Star Trek: The Mirror Universe Saga ($19.95) Star Trek: Revisitations ($19.95) Star Trek: Who Killed Captain Kirk? ($16.95) Star Trek: The Next Generation -- Beginnings ($19.95) In the summer of 1993, Malibu Comics acquired a license to publish comics based on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Malibu published thirty-two issues, two annuals, three mini-series, including a DS9/TNG crossover, created jointly with DC, and several special issues. Malibu brought new marketing techniques to Star Trek comics, publishing several comics with foil-enhanced covers, photo covers, and a hologram cover. Most Malibu issues can still be purchased at cover price. The enhanced issues vary in price, ranging from $10 to $30 and are probably of interest only to completists. Marvel re-entered the Star Trek universe via the back door by acquiring Malibu Comics in November 1994. In 1995, Star Trek: Voyager comics, based on Paramount's fourth Star Trek televison series, were scheduled to join Star Trek: Deep Space Nine in Malibu's line-up, but never materialized. Malibu lost their license to publish Star Trek comics in December 1995. Marvel Comics and Paramount Pictures will launch a line of Star Trek comics in Fall 1996, the 30th anniversary of the original series.

The creatures begin draining power from the ship while the nearby star shows signs of going nova again. Troi communicates with the creatures and learns that they feed on stellar nova and were responsible for the nova under investigation. To prevent them from using the Enterprise to travel through Federation space creating supernovae, Data devises a scheme to contain the creatures.

The occupants of the other vessel are not so lucky. A second alien vessel appears. Data and Louvois are arrested for "disproportionate destruction of lives" and brought to trial by the Terviorii. Their legal system is dedicated to the welfare of the majority and since nine individuals lost their lives, Data and Louvois have no defense. Data tries and fails to argue their case. Capt. Louvois argues that Data is a unique life-form, the sole representative of his race, therefore his rights "outweigh those of any group comprising less than an entire race". Her argument convinces the Terviorii to drop all charges. Meanwhile, back on the Enterprise: Dr. Crusher sends a message to Wesley, detailing her recent encounter with Q; the Klingon flowers in the garden are doing poorly and Worf misses Keiko O'Brien's botanical skills; Picard reaffirms his support for Riker after receiving a copy of Capt.

While Barclay tries to trace the transporter beam which was used to abduct the Starfleet officers, three away teams beam down to the planet. All three missing bodies are found with suspicious ease and Barclay traces the transporter beam to an unexpected source. The Sakerionites have been setting up the Eregeans as fall guys (fall aliens?), in order to hide their crimes against Eregeus. Thanks to Barclay's efforts, Picard creates a ruse of his own to expose the Sakerionites. The grateful Eregeans help reunite separated minds and bodies. Worf, of course, is dismayed at having had such an intimate encounter with Lwaxana. (Michael Jan Friedman; Deryl Skelton; Jason Palmer, Jerome Moore) 59 May 94 Children of chaos, 1 On Chalna, Capt.

(Michael Jab Friedman; Deryl Skelton; Jason Palmer) 65 Nov 94 The truth elusive, 3 The alternate Geordi's ploy to get the drop on his counterpart fails because of Troi's presence and he can't offer any proof that both away teams are in his universe. On the Enterprise, Picard solves the puzzle of Tavorak's story, realizing that the Romulan's motivation is profit. One of Geordi's ensigns determines that they are in the alternate universe and the functioning runabout is given to the alternate away team to try and complete their mission, while their counterparts make plans to repair the other runabout and attempt to return to their own universe.

The DS9 crew stalls while Sisko tries to come up with a valid reason to offer asylum to the slaves. Rogon is very convincing as he argues with representatives of the slaves.

In response, Caldor incites his crew to mutiny and attacks the station, in an effort to force return of the slaves. O'Brien uses the Chiaran's own weapons to help stop the attack.

Kira reads the diary and learns that a young girl, perhaps the daughter of Bajoran resistance leader Malor Bet, once hid in the conduit, with help from Quark. She questions Quark, but Dulath has her answer. The girl's name was Malor Ti. Finding the diary has affected Kira deeply. In a holosuite, she programs an image of Malor Ti. (Mark A. Altman; Gordon Purcell, Scott Reed; Gordon Purcell, Terry Pallot) 09 Jun 94 Requiem, 2 Kira asks Sisko to let her search for Malor Ti, whom she believes may still be alive and in hiding somewhere in the quarantined area of DS9. O'Brien and Dulath decide to work separately in order to restart an off-line reactor before the backup reactor fails. While Odo conducts a search for the girl, O'Brien finds a bomb in the reactor he and Dulath have been working on. Uncertain whether to trust Dulath, Sisko goes with O'Brien's gut instincts. After the backup reactor fails, Dulath and O'Brien restart the off-line reactor just in time. O'Brien also finds the body of Malor Ti in an access tube near the reactor. Bashir determines that she died of radiation poisoning several months before. Kira realizes that it was Malor Ti who placed the bomb in the reactor and died for her efforts. A Cardassian ship arrives to pick up Dulath. O'Brien bids goodbye to a new friend and Kira mourns for a young girl. This issue includes a four-page prelude to the DS9 mini-series, "Hearts and Minds". (Mark A. Altman; Gordon Purcell, Scott Reed, Larry Welch; Kirk, Terry Pallot) 10 Jun 94 Descendants Two humanoid life forms arrive through the wormhole without a spacecraft or protective gear. Sisko allows them to come abooard, but is prevented from examining them by Bajoran residents of the station, who believe the visitors to be Prophets. The "Prophets" begin wandering throughout DS9, leaving glowing, orb-like objects in their wake. While Dax speculates that they might be Preservers, Odo is suspicious and investigates. Watching the visitors touch station residents, Odo confirms his suspicions that they are not what they appear to be. When he finds an orb-like object he asks Bashir to examine it. To their surprise, it hatches into a flying creature, which they manage to contain in a force-field. The visitors assure Sisko that the creatures are tame, but Odo instructs a security guard to fire his phaser at the visitors. They are revealed as adult creatures of the same type as the hatchlings. They inform Sisko that DS9 has been chosen as an incubator for their young, and the station's residents will serve as food. The creatures prove resistant to phasers, but O'Brien transports them into space, and the station's weapons are used to drive them back into the wormhole. (Dan Mishkin; Leonard Kirk, Terry Pallot; Kirk, Pallot) 11 Jul 94 A short fuse Cardassians stage a surprise raid on DS9, taking over the station and capturing the command crew. Jake and Nog are the station's only hope. At least, that's how they imagine their roles on DS9 to be. When Odo wanders by their usual perch, high above the Promenade, they learn he is searching for signs of a bomb. Sisko and Odo insist that the boys return to their quarters. O'Brien recommends that they have patience with their elders, but Jake and Nog sneak off to search on their own. Jake wonders if things would be different if his mother were still alive. When they find a suspicious object, Jake and Nog take it to Ops, where they convince Dax to beam it into space (and into the wormhole). Expecting to be hailed as heroes, the boys are somewhat dismayed to learn that Odo found the bomb in Quark's bar. O'Brien is considerably more than dismayed when he learns that the "bomb" beamed into space was his long-awaited, brand new sub-space field analyzer. (Charles Marshall; Leonard Kirk, Bruce McCorkindale; Kirk, Terry Pallot) 12 Jul 94 Baby on board While counting the night's profits, Quark discovers an abandoned Bajoran baby. It's too late to find someone else to do the dirty work, so Quark takes the child home, and manages to feed and change the child with only moderate success. The next morning, Quark turns the baby over to Odo, who wears himself out morphing his hands into amusing toys to try and calm the bawling infant. Just before Odo becomes a puddle, Sisko arrives to take over. Jake is late for school so he can't babysit. Sisko plays with the child and reminisces about the days when Jake was a baby. When Dax stops by, she is assigned daycare duty so that Sisko can meet with a Federation inspector. The baby girl isn't comfortable with Dax. Dr. Bashir suggests that the child wants to breast-feed. Dax is relieved when the good doctor synthesizes some Bajoran breast milk before he is called away for an inspection. Kira arrives just in time to relieve Dax of diaper duty and eventually sings the baby to sleep with a Bajoran lullaby. When O'Brien arrives and wakes the baby, Kira gives him custody. Called away to meet with the inspector, O'Brien leaves the child in his quarters where Molly finds her and asks Keiko if they can keep the baby. Keiko takes the infant to Ops, where the Federation inspector is berating Sisko and his staff for looking as though they haven't slept. Fortunately he understands the rigors of parenthood and commends the DS9 staff for taking care of the child, whose mother turns up in sickbay, having misplaced her daughter while delerious with fever.

(Charles Marshall; Leonard Kirk, Bruce McCorkindale; Kirk, Terry Pallot) 13 Aug 94 Lapse Bashir vaccinates everyone aboard DS9, including Odo, to prevent the spread of a virulent strain of Bajoran flu. Odo has agreed to test security systems by staging a mock attack on the station, but he reacts badly to the vaccine and becomes convinced that everyone is out to get him. Quark tries to convice Odo that they are friends, as does Kira. Odo's paranoia creates havoc for station personnel until Bashir finds a puddle of Odo. While recovering, Odo experiences vague and tantalizing memories of his past. Also contains "Crossover of the Millenium: An interview with Mike W. Barr and Michael Jan Friedman" by Shaun McLaughlin. (Charles Marshall; Leonard Kirk, Bruce McCorkindale; Kirk, Terry Pallot) 14 Sep 94 Dax's comet, 1 A Bajoran religious cult, living underground for centuries, is ready to emerge again to greet the Messenger and wage the Battle of the Gods. Meanwhile, the DS9 crew tries to maintain order in the face of rumors of an impending apocalypse. Kira explains the mythology of a planet-wide catastrophe occurring every two thousand years. Dax believes the rumors may have some truth to them because long-range sensors have detected a comet on a collision course with the wormhole. The Guardians, leaders of the religious cult, learn that Sisko has asked Starfleet for permission to alter the comet's course. A saboteur dies in his own blast without causing major damage to DS9, when the Guardians arrive at the station. They demand that Sisko cease his interference in spite of the threat to Bajor.

Sisko confronts the Guardians, accusing them of cowardice for not helping rebuild Bajoran civilization, while Dax talks Bashir, Kira, and Odo through some complicated runabout manouvers to turn the comet from its course, in spite of regulations.

When a second Jerakan ship arrives looking for more crew, Quark and Rom are shanghaied, but Rom turns out to be Odo. Using a ruse, Odo and Quark take over the ship, contact the first Jerakan vessel, and order them to return to DS9, promising that no Jerakan ships will ever be allowed through the wormhole if they don't comply. Back at DS9, Kira suggests that Bajorans would be willing to work for the Jerakans if conditions were agreed upon in advance.

When the officers disappear after entering the wormhole, Picard is placed in charge of the investigation. On Bajor, religious fundamentalists consider the wormhole's apparent instability as a sign from the Prophets. Aboard DS9, sensors indicate an attempt to access an old Cardassian computer link. Odo, Kira, and Worf investigate and discover Cardassian sabotuers. Painted cover. (Michael Jan Friedman, Mike W. Barr; Gordon Purcell, Terry Pallot; Sonia Hillios) 01 Oct 94 The wormhole trap, Part 2 of 4 (Malibu Comics) While the wormhole's instability plays havoc with Bajoran weather, the investigation continues. Kira, Odo, and Worf lose the Cardassian trespassers when they transport to a nearby sensor-camoflaged ship and escape into the wormhole. Data and Dax investigate how the Cardassians can travel through the wormhole, while Bashir and Crusher look into an odd flux in the genome set of some blood shed by one of the Cardassians. LaForge and O'Brien examine the old circuitry which the Cardasians were trying to activate. Gul Dukat protests accusations of Cardassian interference, but Troi feels he is telling the truth. Riker assembles an away team to attempt entering the wormhole and reluctantly agrees to let Kira join them. The doctors determine that the blood sample left by the saboteur isn't Cardassian, but belongs to an unknown race. Riker, Kira, and their away team barely make it through the wormhole and are captured in the tractor beam of an alien vessel after spotting the missing runabout. Painted cover. (Mike W. Barr, Michael Jan Friedman; Gordon Purcell, Terry Pallot; Scott Sara) 01 Oct 94 The wormhole trap, Part 2 of 4 (Malibu Comics) Limited edition with a gold foil embossed logo cover. 02 Nov 94 Encounter with the Othersiders, Part 3 of 4 (Malibu Comics) Riker and his away team of Kira, Dax, Odo, Data, and Troi, are caught in the assault beams of an alien fleet on the other side of the wormhole. They escape briefly, only to be trapped in a stasis projector and brought before Thoron, the alien leader. Picard and Sisko travel to Bajor, hoping to ease fears. Bashir questions Crusher about Trills and O'Brien considers returning to the Enterprise. With Odo's help, the away team escapes detention and wreaks havoc on the alien ship. Upon finding the missing Starfleet officers, they are captured once again. Painted cover. (Mike W. Barr, Michael Jan Friedman; Gordon Purcell, Terry Pallot; Scott Sava) 02 Jan 94 The unseen enemy, Part 4 of 4 (DC Comics) Data turns the tables on the away team's captors and they are on the run again. On the other side of the wormhole, O'Brien and LaForge discover how the wormhole has been obstructed and begin looking for the source of the problem. Kira and Riker locate a ship, tansport the rest of the Starfleet team to safety, then make for the wormhole. The alien leader reveals his Cardassian allies. When the away team arrives back at DS9, Odo confirms his suspicions of Cardassian interference. The Enterprise, with DS9 officers aboard, makes for the source of the wormhole interference, an old Cardassian outpost. Another combined away team conducts an assault on the outpost to destroy the device obstructing the wormhole. The Cardassians deny any involvement and their alien allies from the other side of the wormhole abandon their position. Picard, Sisko, and their crews part company on good terms. Painted cover.

Barr; Gordon Purcell, Terry Pallot; Jason Palmer) [Malibu Comics] The Maquis: Soldier of Peace (mini-series) ---------------------------------------------------------- This mini-series acts as a bridge between Star Trek: DS9 and Star Trek: Voyager. 01 Feb 95 "Vacation's over" Bashir leaves for a vacation on Risa. On the transport ship he meets Tessa Blake. She invites Bashir to her room for an intimate encounter with a phaser. Bashir awakens aboard a Maquis freighter. Tessa needed a doctor for a Maquis assault on a Cardassian prison camp, where prisoners from missing Federation and Maquis vessels have been reported. The assault proceeds far too easily and the entire force is captured by Cardassians. (Mark A. Altman; Rob Davis, Terry Pallot; Davis, Pallot) "Memoirs of an invisible Ferengi" Romulans arrive on DS9 and purchase time in the holosuites, leaving a container "of immeasurable value" in Quark's safekeeping. Inside the container is a belt which makes the wearer invisible. Quark is overjoyed, but not for long. (Cris Dows, Colin Clayton; Brian Michael Bendis, Bruce McCorkindale) Includes "The Maquis", an essay by Mark A. Altman, and illustrations of Maquis insignia by Jim Magdaleno. 01 Feb 95 Same as above with a photo cover featuring Dr. Julian Bashir. 02 Mar 95 "Rats in a maze" Bashir and the Maquis are put to work mining ore. While being questioned, Bashir boasts of having friends in the Obsidian Order. Word is sent to Garak on DS9, of Bashir's plight. Garak and Sisko set out to find the Cardassian prison in a ship procured by Quark. When they arrive, they too are taken prisoner. The Cardassian commander is particularly pleased to see Garak. (Mark A. Altman; Rob Davis, Terry Pallot;) "A tree grows on Bajor" Sisko and a reluctant Jake attend a Bajoran tree-planting ceremony. As his father explains the significance of the occasion, Jake is reminded of his mother and deeply moved. (R.A. Jones; Leonard Kirk, Jack Snider) 03 Apr 95 Victims of deceit Gul Dulcet, the Cardassian commander, and a protege of Gul Dukat, has plans for Garak and no use for Bashir, Sisko, and the Maquis. Injured trying to help a wounded prisoner, Bashir finds himself in the infirmary where he learns that Tessa is a doctor and has cooperated with the Cardassians because they have promised to release her brother, a member of Chakotay's Maquis crew, whom the Cardassians claim to have captured. Bashir escapes and frees the others, just as Kira arrives in the Defiant. Dulcet and Tessa escape. Tessa discovers she has made a fatal mistake, and Dulcet learns that trusting Dukat may have fatal consequences as well. (Mark A. Altman; Rob Davis, Terry Pallot; Davis, Pallot) [Malibu Comics] The Malibu Sun ------------------------------ 01 Mar 93 Malibu Sun Preview Special Contains interviews with Mike W.
