Comic Book Cover Art, DC Comics, STAR TREK. Pencil, Ink, Brush, Pen, Opaque gouache.

The Trek trio welcome aboard a lovely Federation representative, eliciting the customary reactions from our heroes.

I illustrated this cover as a vignette, allowing the edges to simply fade or bleed out. Even with the minimalistic background, any Trek film series fan will place the scene in the transporter room. All I did was lay in the familiar "honeycomb" chamber pattern, and prop McCoy higher up to imply a platform step, and that was that.

Thinly disguised, I used Kirstie Alley as the Federation envoy, having always had a soft spot for her and her original portrayal of Lt. Saavik from Wrath of Khan. However, my eagle-eyed editor spotted my "joke," and was legally obliged to have another artist quickly draw in a different face. Shucks! LOL!

I would have liked to see the Kirstie Alley one myself, but oh well. This was a great cover.

Thank you very much. :)

And I'm honored by the invitation. But I very rarely join any clubs. I guess it's as the great Groucho Marx once said:
"I wouldn't join any club that would have ME as a member!"

LOL!

I think I remember this storyline... it was during Peter David's run, right? Because I recall that female character being designed like a Patrick Nagel painting (at least that is how she came across to me). Then I believe Paramount (or Mrs. Rodenberry) put the kibosh on creating 'new' main characters, or that's what I recall from seeing peter david during a convention around that time.

Unless I'm way off base on all this :)

Nope. You're pretty much on the beam, Mr. Springer. I can understand both points of view: the writer who wants to create something fresh, and the guardians who wish to protect the original focus.

wow, so my memory doesn't suck! that's a pleasant surprise.

And I do understand both points of view, however: when a franchise like Star Trek has been around SO long, I can see where the writer may want to do something to take the story in a (hopefully) new direction with a new character or two. I don't think the character in question was ever going to surplant the main characters, but was there to give a new dynamic for the regular ST characters to react to.

Of course this was all a long time ago, so the point is kind of moot now :)
