The Mirror Universe Saga

The Mirror Universe Saga was a Star Trek: The Original Series comic book omnibus first published by DC Comics in 1991.

Description[]

The Complete Comic Book Collection omnibus
Bearded Spock and the evil Captain Kirk return to the spotlight in an eight-part sequel to "Mirror, Mirror" set directly after Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, in which the Empire sends the alternate James Kirk to lead a full-scale invasion of the Federation's universe. An examination of the Empire's history, a look at the Mirror Klingons and Romulans, and a mindmeld between both Spocks make this the best of DC's line — and the quintessential Star Trek comic of all time.

Specifics[]

The book reprinted DC Comics' Star Trek #9-16, an eight-issue story arc called New Frontiers when it was originally released in 1984-1985. The arc was written by Mike W. Barr, penciled by Tom Sutton and inked by Ricardo Villagran. It was recolored by Julianna Ferriter.

A.C. Crispin wrote a four-page introduction about the growth and evolution of Star Trek through TNG, novels, comics and games, illustrated with cover art from the arc. She described proposing a plot idea for a Mirror Universe novel to Pocket Books editor David Stern, only to learn that something similar had already been done in The Mirror Universe Saga.

The saga was subsequently reprinted by IDW in the omnibus Best of Alternate Universes in 2009, by Eaglemoss in the omnibus Graphic Novel Collection, Volume 41 on 19 July 2018, and again by IDW with a new cover on 15 March 2022.
