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 a portion of Doohan's training to become an actor, including his study under acclaimed acting instructor Sanford Meisner.  The central image, however, features Doohan as Prince of Denmark in Shakespeare's Hamlet, act 5, scene 1.   Please note- this is an actual, original piece of art.  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.
