Star Trek: The Next Generation #1 (Marvel UK)
Various (w) & (a)
One of the most popular science fiction shows was Star Trek, so when a more modern and updated continuation appeared as Star Trek: The Next Generation it was inevitable that comics would appear.
There is story in this issue, Mission Report written by Michael Carlin with art by Pablo Marcos in which the Enterprise heads to make contact with the people of T-B 13 (the natives refer to their planet as Syntagus Theluv). After receiving a friendly message Picard prepares to send an away team when the Enterprise is fired upon.
Are these aliens friendly or not. Only Rykers team can find out...
The comic then presents an article Datalore about you guessed Data and his "brother" Lore very much the black sheep of the family as we all get to know.
Despite being a Marvel publication all the comics material was actually created and originally published by rivals DC Comics. The licence kept alternating between the two. Today the franchise is published by IDW who concentrate on the "Earth 2" version from the rebooted movies!
Star Trek: TNG lasted just 24 issues plus one Annual.
