Star Trek: #20 – Giri (1985)
For issue 20 of DC Comics ongoing Star Trek series, which was on stands until November 1985, Wenonah Woods pens a Sulu story that saw Tom Sutton on pencils and Ricardo Villagran on inks. This will be the third issue exploring supporting character stories, which is good, I just hope it’s a solid tale. Let’s…
Star Trek: Lower Decks (2020) – Moist Vessel, Cupid’s Errant Arrow, and Terminal Provocations
Moist Vessel continues to show that Trek can do comedy and animation right, and still be Trek. First airing on 27 August, 2020, it was written by Ann Kim and continues to move our characters forward in their narrative arcs, with lots of deep cuts and humour. The Cerritos is investigating a long-lost generation ship…
Star Trek: Annual #1 The First Mission (1985)
Star Trek’s first annual from DC Comics was on shelves for October of 1985. Mike W. Barr delivers the story, perhaps explaining why he wasn’t around for the last few issues.

Walter (Chekov) Koenig paired up with artist Dan Spiegle to deliver a Chekov story for DC Comics’ ongoing Star Trek series. On comic racks until October of 1985, the story is set between the events of The Motion Picture and The Wrath of Khan. I don’t want to sound too mean, but I don’t love…
Star Trek: #18 – Rest and Recreation (1985)
The Human Adventure continues with DC Comics’ Star Trek run. There’s a new writer behind Rest and Recreation, Peter Kupperberg, but Tom Sutton remains on pencils, and Ricardo Villagran endures on inks. This one was on spinners for September of 1985. This time out, we get to see what Scotty gets up to during some…
Star Trek: #17 – The D’Artagnan Three
There’s a change in writer for this issue of DC Comics’ ongoing Star Trek series. I imagine Mike Barr needed a break after that eight-issue tale he penned. Writing the script for issue 17, which was on spinners for August of 1985 is L.B. Kellogg, Tom Sutton continues as penciller, and Ricardo Villagran is on…
Star Trek: #16 Homecoming (1985)
