New, feature-length tales set in the Star Trek: The Original Series universe, done in a unique, one-of-a-kind photomontage style.
Collects three stories: in “Swarm,” the Enterprise faces 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.TV
John Byrne is a comic-book writer and artist. Since the mid-1970s, Byrne has worked on many major American superheroes. Byrne's better-known work has been on Marvel Comics' X-Men and Fantastic Four and the 1986 relaunch of DC Comics' Superman franchise, the first issue of which featured comics' first variant cover. Coming into the comics profession exclusively as a penciller, Byrne began co-plotting the X-Men comics during his tenure on them, and launched his writing career in earnest with Fantastic Four (where he started inking his own pencils). During the 1990s he produced a number of creator-owned works, including Next Men and Danger Unlimited. He scripted the first issues of Mike Mignola's Hellboy series and produced a number of Star Trek comics for IDW Publishing. In 2015, Byrne and his longtime X-Men collaborator Chris Claremont were inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame.
