Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (Malibu)

Timespan:	Unknown

First ever Deep Space Nine comic series.

Premise

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was a comic book series from Malibu Comics, the first original Star Trek: Deep Space Nine monthly series, spanning from August 1993 to December 1995.

It depicted the events of missions taking place during the first four seasons of DS9. Several canon characters and concepts were included in the stories, but the details were possibly contradictory with televised Star Trek of the era, as the creators of this non-canon work were mostly unaffiliated with the actual DS9 creators.
