Star Trek: Leonard Nimoy 1931-2015

Star Trek: Leonard Nimoy 1931-2015 was the title of the second Star Trek-themed issue in the The Official CBS Watch! Collector's Edition magazine series, released in March 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 Leonard Nimoy 1931-2015 was the second. Still, unlike the prior issue, this issue was something of a spur-of-the-moment release, as actor Leonard Nimoy had only passed away the week previously, and as such it was presented as a "commemorative edition" instead of a celebratory one, as indicated on the magazine cover. 
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 16 June 2015 as indicated on the magazine cover.

For nearly 50 years in the limelight, Nimoy was the favorite of generations of science fiction fans for his logical yet lovable Vulcan.
