About the item:
From Personality Comics' The Original Crew #4 (December, 1991), this original art page is by Juan Pineda (pencils) and Ken Branch (inks) and features a biography of James "Scotty" Doohan from the original Star Trek series and film franchise. It gives a brief background of his early career in theater and radio before covering his move to television and, of course, focuses on his role as Montgomery Scott ("Scotty"). This particular page covers Doohan's other television work, including mentions of such legendary television programs that he guest starred in; Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Bewitched, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Outer Limits, among others, and depicts Doohan in character for each of the roles he played in these shows. The image of Doohan's face is a stat in each of the images except for the last image (as can be seen by the evidence of glue residue holding the stats in place). Please note- this is an actual, original piece of artwork pencilled and inked by hand by Pineda and Branch. It is not a copy, print or pre-printed image, or bluelines. It is a one-of-a-kind original! The issue cover is shown for reference. But please note that the comic itself is not included in with the listing. The listing is for the original artwork only. In excellent condition, it will be shipped with the utmost care. Measures approximately 11 by 17 inches.
