"The Rich and the Dead!" was a TNG comic, the 52nd issue of DC Comics' ongoing series. Released in late October 1993, it began a three-part arc released every two weeks. The story featured Q, a holodeck Dixon Hill mystery, and shore leave at a circus.
Summary[]
Log entries[]
- Captain's personal log, supplemental.
- We have arrived at Beta Maradi VII, where much of my crew will be beaming down for shore leave.
- Despite their invitations, I will not be joining them. However, that decision is not based solely on my less than felicitous experiences during previous shore leaves. As it happens, I have something else to occupy my time. Something I am more likely to enjoy than the various spectacles awaiting on Beta Maradi VII.
