Star Trek: New Visions Volume 5 [Paperback]

New, feature-length tales set in theStar Trek: The Original Series universe, done in a unique, one-of-a-kind photomontage style.

Collects three stories: in “Swarm,” theEnterprisefaces an alien threat that numbers in the millions; in “The Hidden Face,” a chance encounter with a drifting ship leads the crew to a world where the most obscene thing imaginable is the human face; and in “Sam,” Captain Kirk must face one of the greatest moral challenges of his life, proving the innocence of a confessed killer–Sam, his own brother! Collects issues #12–14 and the short story More of the Serpent Than the Dove. Byrne’s writing is strong, as always, and his storyline is courageous in using Star Trek to address social issues often viewed as a ‘third rail’ in other forms of discourse. -ComicWow.TVJohn Byrneis a comic-book writer and artist.
