An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Promotional Movie Brochure (measures 8 1/4" x 11"; 4 pages) (Learn More) Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, the 1982 Nicholas Meyer science fiction (sci-fi) outer space adventure sequel ("At the end of the universe lies the beginning of vengeance."; "Based on Star Trek Created by Gene Roddenberry") starring William Shatner (as Captain James T. Kirk), Leonard Nimoy (as Spock), DeForest Kelley (as McCoy), James Doohan (as Scotty), Walter Koenig (as Chekov), George Takei (as Sulu), Nichelle Nichols (as Uhura), Bibi Besch, Paul Winfield ("as Terrell"), Kirstie Alley (billed as "introducing Kirstie Alley as Savvik"), and Ricardo Montalban (in the title role; billed as "starring Ricardo Montalban as Khan"). Note that the Star Trek TV show went off the air in 1969, with a cult following, but without a lot of general success. But there was enough interest built up over the following years that Star Trek: The Motion Picture was made in 1979. While the movie did well at the box office, it was not critically well received, and it looked like that might have been the end of the franchise, but then Nicholas Meyer wrote and directed this sequel, which was a giant critical and commercial success, and led to all the many sequels and spin-offs in the years since! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this item has been personally autographed (signed) by BOTH George Takei AND Nichelle Nichols! Note that this signed still comes to us directly from the collection of Gary and Susan Svehla, who have been extremely active in the horror/sci-fi hobby for decades. Here is a brief biography of the Svehlas: In the summer of 1963, 13-year-old Gary Svehla published the first issue of his horror film fanzine, GORE CREATURES (which became MIDNIGHT MARQUEE in 1976 and continues to this day). By the end of 1963, Gary purchased his very first movie poster, an original Universal insert from GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN, for which he paid $3.00. That was the beginning of Gary collecting horror and sci-fi movie material as well as the beginning of his collection of stills bought at conventions and from other collectors, which he used to illustrate his magazine. In 1986 Gary and his wife Susan sponsored the first FANEX horror and science fiction movie convention, which continued for 19 years. FANEX featured the greatest celebrities (actors, directors, special effects masters, etc.) from the horror film genre. Beginning in 1995 MIDNIGHT MARQUEE PRESS, INC. was created by Gary and Susan, an independent book publisher, which by 2010 published well over 100 titles. They have also produced and directed two independent horror films as well as releasing Feb. 2011 a 4-hour documentary, Midnight Madness, The History of Horror, Sci-Fi and Fantasy Films, based on the guest interviews from FANEX. All of the signed items from the Svehlas' collection were either obtained from guests at their shows, or were purchased from longtime friends, and we feel certain this autograph is genuine (note that many of the signed items from their collection are personalized to one or both of them). Condition: very good. There are tiny areas of surface paper loss in the upper right corner of the front cover, and some faint creases scattered throughout, but overall, the brochure is in pretty good condition!
