More information from the "Zocalo" newsletter was posted here earlier:
IDW Publishing is putting out an edition of its upcoming Star Trek comic
in Klingon. "Star Trek: Klingons: Blood Will Tell" is a new, five-part
miniseries that will be available in a special 40-page Klingon-language
edition, accompanied by the original script in English to aid translation,
the publisher said. The comic, which debuts in April [2007], will also be
available in a 32-page English-language edition.
"Star Trek: Klingons: Blood Will Tell" is set in the universe of the
original Trek series and comes from writer Scott Tipton (aided by his
brother, David Tipton) and artist David Messina. The series takes incidents
from familiar episodes of the original series [e.g. "A Private Little War"
and "The Trouble with Tribbles"] and retells them from the Klingon point
of view. The first issue centers on an unsteady peace that breaks into
full-scale war after a Klingon cruiser is destroyed by the Federation
starship Enterprise. Issue two will examine the result of Montgomery
Scott's beaming of thousands of tribbles onto a Klingon cruiser. Artist
Joe Corroney will join Messina in providing variant covers for the series.
