    Cara Sherman Tereno was born in 1953 in the state of Nevada and
    died
    in February 1996.

    She left her home state of Nevada to attend Wheelock College in
    Boston, then studied at the Kubert School of Comic Art in New
    Jersey,
    where she met and married Lloyd Tereno.

    Professional History

    Cara Sherman-Tereno was one of the few women to work in
    mainstream
    American comics. She was employed by DC, but for herself and the
    non-
    mainstream press she produced gay vampire erotica, such as 'Life
    With
    The Vampire' (drawn in 1978, published in Taboo in 1989). Cara
    died of
    leukemia in February 1996, aged 44.

    Romulan Wine

    "Cara published a fanzine called Romulan Wine which was
    basically
    dedicated to Star Trek, of which she (and I as well) were big
    fans
    [...] She had asked me if I was interested in writing and
    penciling a
    strip, and she'd revise and ink it, and we wanted something in
    the
    Star Trek fashion. I wrote a story about Ancient Vulcan, the
    main
    character of which was a chieftain named Mort III. Cara loved it,
    but
    was afraid that Gene Roddenberry might not approve, so she wrote
    him
    several times, and eventually, he did indeed approve of the
    script and
    even gave his blessing, making it an authorized part of Vulcan
    History. She published it in two-parts in her fanzine, and, to
    my
    knowledge, it was the first time anything in comic strip format
    referring to Ancient Vulcan was ever published. The one precedent
    we
    set in the storyline? The sun on Vulcan rose from the West."
