Latin American-style Star Trek

[mmtz]

Every now and then I run across a Star Trek comics-related item that's unusual or surprising. Like this comic strip compilation magazine published in Argentina. Gunga Din #1 contains a color version of the first LA Times Star Trek comic strip story arc translated into Spanish, but it's the cover art that I found entertaining. If I linked this correctly, you can bring up a larger image. I don't know the name of the artist, but his signature is on the cover.

That's wonderful. I love how the Ilia Probe's Deltan robe has been turned into a bikini top.

Anyone reading it after being impressed by the cover art will be disappointed. Inside, Ilia has been miraculously, inexplicably restored to life (from the events of TMP) and is back to wearing a Starfleet uniform. She functions more like a TOS guest navigator and essentially makes no contribution to the plot.
