So Near The Touch (Star Trek Graphic Novel Collection, #138)

From Star Trek actor George Takei comes a powerful Sulu-centric story of love, loss, isolation, and sacrifice.

Following Peter David’s renowned stint on DC Comics’ Star Trek, Howard Weinstein had big shoes to fill, and as issues #17–21 illustrate, he did so admirably. David returned for issue #19 and cowrote Takei’s tale for annual #1, which featured art by Gray Morrow and a vibrant Jerome K. Moore cover.

These six issues are collected in this latest volume, which also presentse Andy Mangels’ never-published Redjac tale for DC, Return of the Wolf, as well as Mangels’ and Michael A Martin’s aborted Marvel project, Star Trek: Phase 3.
