Titan have released the final covers for the last issue of Star Trek Explorer #14, the current iteration of Star Trek Monthly/Magazine, which will be on sale in December.
The publisher has added a variant foil cover to the mix of covers available, as the title bows out after 30 years. You can order it online using this form.
The official Star Trek magazine is drawing to a close 30 years on since work on the title began, launched back in 1995, edited by myself, John Freeman.
Some of you may have been reading the magazine since the beginning. Thank you for reading, and thank you to everyone who contributed to the title, or supported its coverage – actors, production staff, licensors, and Paramount and CBS staffers across the years. It’s been quite a voyage!
Star Trek publishing will continue at Titan, but the quarterly magazine is no longer an element.
Interviews in this final issue include William Shatner, John deLancie, Denise Crosby and Alan Ruck, and there are features on the “gods and super beings” of Star Trek – the Q, and many others – along with two new short stories in the physical magazine, one by David Mack, the other by Una McCormack, and three more in the subscriber digital supplement, by Greg Cox, Craig Shemin and Rich Handley.
Plus, there’s a look back at 30 years of Titan’s Star Trek magazines, brought forward from plans for early next year, and a busy Fistful of Data section. (Those continuity questions never stopped coming!)
