STAR TREK #20 (1985) - Tom Sutton and Ricardo Villagran Hand-Drawn Cover Artwork
Hand-drawn cover artwork by Tom Sutton and Ricardo Villagran featuring Sulu, from Star Trek #20. In this issue, which is titled “Giri” (Japanese for honour), Commander Sulu found excitement and danger as he took shore leave for a wedding.

This original pencilled-and-inked artwork is drawn on Bristol board by penciller Tom Sutton and inker Ricardo Villagran. The cover shows Sulu using a sword to defend himself against Reijiro, the groom, who operates a cyber suit. This was the first cover to feature Sulu alone, and shows the Starfleet officer using a sword — although he does not wield one in the comic. Pasted onto the artwork are the artist’s names, issue block, title art, barcode block and tagline, which reads: “SULU GOES HOME -- TO LEARN THE MEANING OF HONOR!” On the back of the sheet is a DC Comics stamp and a handwritten date, “5/8/85”.

Included with the lot is a reference copy of Star Trek #20, the comic book in which this art was originally published. The artwork shows three staples, minor paper discolouring and tape residue, but remains in fine condition. Dimensions: 29 cm x 43 cm (11 ½” x 17”)

Please note this lot is sold without copyright, reproduction rights, licencing agreements or any other type of legal release.
