Episode ST.2: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, part 2

<<FIRST     <PREVIOUS     NEXT>     LATEST>>

I believe that's the angriest Kirk I've ever drawn.

Not only does Wrath of Khan deliver on the villain and the story, but it has possibly the most shocking scene in all of Star Trek: Spock's death. I could have done twelve panels just on that one scene, but practicalities forced it to be condensed slightly.

Even though these uniforms are cool, they're a lot more fiddly to draw than previous ones. There are way too many details to remember. I had to scan this strip three times after noticing in earlier scans that I'd missed details, and got out the pens again to add them in.
