Our most offbeat tale ever!

Background Information Edit

• This is the final issue of the series.
• It features a follow-up to TOS: "A Piece of the Action". This was one of the concepts investigated for a 30th anniversary show on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, but "Trials and Tribble-ations" was done instead, revisiting TOS: "The Trouble with Tribbles".
• Dr. Crusher introduces Data as a "South American", just as he was introduced in TNG: "The Big Goodbye".
• The issue is dedicated to Harold D. Martin (1924-1997), father of Michael A. Martin.
• The "previously in..." section at the front of the comic features a brief summary of the episode as opposed to the events of the prior issue.
• Data claims that, according to Captain James T. Kirk's log entry, Bela Okmyx was beamed aboard the USS Enterprise in 2268. However, in "A Piece of the Action", Okmyx never left the surface of Sigma Iotia II. It was in fact Jojo Krako who was beamed aboard the ship.
