Old age affects everyone, even starship captains like James T. Kirk—and even conmen like Harry Mudd.
Howard Weinstein’s DC Star Trek tales continue with issues #22–26, in which Mudd pulls one last scam before retiring—angering the Nasgul in the process. This volume also collects Peter David’s Star Trek Annual #2, which revisits James Kirk’s Academy days.
In addition, presented for the first time are two “lost” tales from writer Steven H. Wilson: Captain Sulu Adventures and Star Trek: Resolution. These two stories, originally slated for publication by DC, never saw print—until now.
Peter Allen David, often abbreviated PAD, was an American writer of comic books, novels, television, films, and video games. His notable comic book work includes an award-winning 12-year run on The Incredible Hulk, as well as runs on Aquaman, Young Justice, SpyBoy, Supergirl, Fallen Angel, Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2099, Captain Marvel, and X-Factor. His Star Trek work included comic books and novels such as the New Frontier book series. His other novels included film adaptations, media tie-ins, and original works, such as the Apropos of Nothing and Knight Life series. His television work includes series such as Babylon 5, Young Justice, Ben 10: Alien Force and Nickelodeon's Space Cases, which he co-created with Bill Mumy. David often jokingly described his occupation as "Writer of Stuff", and he was noted for his prolific writing, characterized by its mingling of real-world issues with humor and references to popular culture, as well as elements of metafiction and self-reference. David earned multiple awards for his work, including a 1992 Eisner Award, a 1993 Wizard Fan Award, a 1996 Haxtur Award, a 2007 Julie Award and a 2011 GLAAD Media Award.
