When We Were Trekkies Issue 1: Stardate Zero by Joe Sikoryak

On the third planet of an insignificant star, three high schoolers named Jonny, Harold and Tom take comfort in watching reruns of their favorite sci-fi show. The thrilling, optimistic stories stand in stark relief to the dull, grinding reality of their home town, and the asbestos factory that is its namesake.

Learning of a Star Trek convention in New York City, the boys join forces to crash the festivities, and compete in a costume contest. Can they overcome technical challenges, parental resistance, and hostile classmates to realize their dream?
