1982: STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN POSTER MAGAZINE

From 1982: the official STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN POSTER MAGAZINE.

Merchandising from THE MOTION PICTURE tended to clutter the clearance aisles of stores well into the early Eighties (I remember picking up the whole crew, as action figures, reduced to clear in a branch of Debenhams... how I wish I'd kept hold of them) so manufacturers were a lot less eager to sign up for the sequel (heck: they didn't even manage to muster a comic book adaptation... although Marvel had announced early plans to do so). But print was relatively risk free which probably explains this one-shot.

It follows the usual big picture on one side/ text on the reverse formula.

  1. slow, is there some reason why you keep misspelling ' khan ' as ' kahn ' ?


    I have this one also, albeit in tatty condition.


    IDW did bring out an adaptation back in 2009.


    Also due out from IDW is a lovely looking volume collecting rare uk trek strips :
