Captain Hikaru Sulu

Few characters carry the weight of beloved franchise history quite like Captain Hikaru Sulu, who made his comics debut in DC's Star Trek #39 in 1992, brought to the page by writer Howard Weinstein and artist Rod Whigham in the Copper/Modern Age. His own spotlight shines brightest in Star Trek: Captain's Log: Sulu, a testament to how much fans cherish seeing this captain command center stage — and he's even graced the milestone Star Trek #500. Sharing adventures with none other than Captain James T. Kirk, Sulu occupies a special corner of the Trek comics universe that rewards any collector who seeks him out across his three-decade presence in the catalog.
