Star Trek: Heroes and Villains

Real world article
(written from a production point of view)

Star Trek: Heroes and Villains, subtitled, "The 100 Most Iconic Characters From The Final Frontier", was the title of the third Star Trek-themed issue in the The Official CBS Watch! Collector's Edition magazine series, released in July 2015.

With the upcoming 50th anniversary of Star Trek, CBS Communications, as a courtesy to its sister company CBS Studios Inc. – owner of one of history's most successful media-franchises – owed it to its standing to have attention paid to the phenomenon, starting with the release of three Star Trek-themed issues in 2014-2015 in the Collector's Edition series, of which Heroes and Villains was the third, and last before the official year of the franchise's anniversary. A glossy magazine, the publication was high on picture content, but with minimal, cursory text captions. Editorial chores were subcontracted to publisher Media Lab Books. The magazine was offered for official sale until 15 September as indicated on the magazine cover, or 21 October 2015 as indicated on the official site.
