For Chris Roberson, writing a Star Trek comic was natural, given that he had been a fan of Star Trek since childhood.
“As an elementary school student in the 1970s, I ‘dressed up’ for class pictures in Starfleet uniform shirts (usually Sciences blue, since I tended to identify more with Spock than any other character),” said Roberson. “I was a member of the Starfleet fan club in the 1980s, and a member of the Klingon Language Institute in the 1990s.”
