Following Vice Press’ first steps into the final frontier, the UK-based art group is once again bringing one of Star Trek‘s most iconic posters into the modern era as the spotlight shifts to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
 
The company arrived on the Star Trek scene in September with a remastered run of Bob Peak’s classic Star Trek: The Motion Picture one-sheet poster, revitalized and rebuilt from scans of original art material by Vice Press’ own Matt Ferguson — who also debuted his own original design for a Motion Picture poster in October.
 
Next, Vice Press moved to visit Trek television with high-end prints of key art from Star Trek: Picard Season 3 and from all four seasons of Star Trek: Lower Decks (each release remains avaialable for preorder as of this writing).
 

Following an original Khan poster design by artist Florey (which sold out quickly in November), Ferguson has worked to restore the theatrical Star Trek II one-sheet for release in a new pair of Vice Press prints — even going as far as remaking the title treatment from scratch for the project.

The ‘standard’ Vice Press print of Star Trek II’s one-sheet poster will be available for a limited time — with sales open from February 1 through February 7 — and a short-run reflective foil variant will be limited to a total number of 300 prints. Each will measure 24″ x 36″ and sales will begin at 6PM (GMT) / 1PM (ET) / 10AM (PT) on February 1.

While Khan is the February focus, Ferguson and Vice Press are already moving well down the theatrical line on the other Star Trek film releases. Ferguson commented on Twitter that the company has “great scans” of the Star Trek IV original poster, though he’s faced challenges with Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.

The artist noted that Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country was “a lost cause” for a while due to lack of original resources, but through a great deal of effort is approaching a satisfactory update to the original Star Trek VI key art poster.

I’m so happy to be able to do this to preserve the artwork as best as I can. Lots of research, purchases of one sheets, scanning, colour correcting, cleaning up and painting. Combining the best elements of multiple sources. It will all be released soon through Vice Press.

Somewhere. But the estate doesn’t have it and the scans at the studio that I’ve got access to aren’t the best. So I see it as my duty do try and get them to a place where they can be preserved before they are lost.

As a reminder, the new Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan poster releases will launch at the Vice Press website this Thursday, February 1, at 6PM (GMT) / 1PM (ET) / 10AM (PT) on February 1.
