Half black, half white and half Canadian, Ginger is the pilot of the Kobayashi Maru (the perfect place to put a crewman who has failed in every other position!) Ginger's people are trapped in a race war between the ones who are black with white stripes and those who are white with black stripes...

If you want to reach Earth but don't mind taking the scenic route, the Voyagestar is the perfect blend of comfort, roominess, and sloth. Marrying Federation style with Colonial practicality, the Voyagestar knows that it's the journey that counts, not the destination. Available for 900 easy...

The ships in my Trek-inspired universe are closer to a Geof Darrow interpretation of Star Wars than the sleek, smooth ships of Star Trek. They are meant to represent a cruder, more industrial future. These ships don't have warp drive. Instead, they travel along "slideways": Corridors of space...

A comic strip I drew briefly. Enjoy! (Or... possibly don't!)

Moji is my stand-in for the telepathic Talosians (or, as I called them when I was a child, the "Bumheads"). She is an "emwave", able to harmonize her brainwave patterns with those of others around her, and in so doing, become one mind with them. She imprints on people like a pet, and since her...

As a merciless, Xenomorph-like threat, the Gorn seem to me to be too monstrous to be good Trek villains. You can't invite them onto the ship, and you certainly can't have a rapprochement with creatures that want to lay eggs in your face. Has this series tried to introduce a new...

Dr. Kwar is the Kobayashi Maru's ship's surgeon, and boy... does he ever get into his work! A member of the nearly indestructible, troglodytic Klug species, Kwar may mince bodies, but he never minces words! A big fan of Freddy Mercury and Earl Grey tea, Kwar's predilections have made him an...

The story for Kobayashi Maru has two parents. The first is my initial idea: A straight-up lampoon of Star Trek (sort of like a mature-audiences Futurama) that showed the world of Trek through the jaded eyes of smugglers living in the Neutral Zone. The second parent was a different story I had...

Although I have never been one for groups, I always have felt proud to be part of a fandom that is interested not only in stories and special effects, but that also seems to have a spirit of optimism and responsibility concerning the future. The interesting thing about the Trek universe is that...

I continue to develop drawings for a sketchbook I am creating to promote my upcoming Star Trek homage/parody comic book Kobayashi Maru. Here are some drawings of the ship's captain, Yama Singh! I developed Yama years before Strange New Worlds launched, but she bears a similarity to La'an in...

Incredibly, one of my favorite episodes of TOS was “The Way to Eden”… the space hippies! This episode was one of the rare instances across all the series where a bit of Federation civilian life was explored. This episode also has the added feature of introducing dissidents who don’t dig the...

Canonically, was the Dominion War over by the time Voyager returned to the Alpha Quadrant?

I posted a piece from a Star Trek parody comic book I am working on, Kobayashi Maru, here. Someone requested I share my take on Harry Mudd. As luck would have it, my version of Harry plays a prominent role in the story! Meet... André Spudd! Andre is a mash-up of Harry Mudd and Cyrano Jones...

I am working on a comic pitch for a major publisher that is a parody/homage of Star Trek. Here is a piece of art from it, featuring my take on a Gorn. Enjoy!

I can't be the first person to raise this issue, but having only just watched Ad Astra Per Aspera, it seems more salient now: Shouldn't the DNA augmentation material have been written around La'an, not Una? The fact that La'an is a direct descendant of Khan only makes this decision more...

Name says it all! Love knows no bounds. I'll start: "Peanut Badger"

I often view world circumstances through stories and lessons gleaned from Star Trek, as I’m sure many of you do as well. Let’s imagine the Ukraine War in Star Trek terms. What episodes does the conflict resemble? Which players resemble which Star Trek counterparts? (Is the US the Federation, or...

I’ve been trying to resist saying this (and I’m sure others have introduced this topic long ago), but despite my best efforts to like Mariner, I think we’ve got a Mary Sue problem here. I just cannot warm up to this character. It finally clicked for me when I realized that the only thing about...

Here's how I would fix Kurtzman's terrible ideas concerning synths in Picard. (If any of this is similar to something already addressed in the show, forgive me. I have only watched a little of Season One). After Data is destroyed in Nemesis, Bruce Maddox is left without a blueprint of how to...

I’m a comic book creator, and I have been trying to entice IDW comics to discuss “return to Deep Space Nine” graphic novel. Unfortunately, they don’t accept unsolicited pitches. It occurs to me that it might be easier to get that permission if I could show there was interest in such a project...
