One of the interesting things about Star Trek fiction is that while everyone probably doesn't read or watch every spin-off, novel, game, or comic; there are certain source items that most have. Just about every fan has seen Star Trek II: the Wrath of Khan, widely regarded as the best of the movies (so far, anyway...) and would fondly remember the Enterprise's battle with the hijacked U.S.S. Reliant. Which isn't pictured above, by the way. Or below:
The first scan is from Peter David's first run on DC's adaptation, and pictures a collision with the hijacked Zephyr, renamed the Renegade. The second is from Captain Pike's day, and the Cortez, hijacked by pre-Enlightenment Vulcans. Yeah, those Miranda class ships don't seem like the safest assignments...
