The Wrath of Khan in two parts

The genetically advanced, perfect soldier Khan has stolen not only the starship Reliant but the powerful Genesis experiment as well in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. In the dramatic ending of the film he follows the Enterprise into the mysterious Mutara Nebula, a turbulent region of space that disrupts both of the starships' sensors and disables their shields. This is part 1 of my tribute to this climactic battle.

The second from my series of Star Trek inspired illustrations depicting memorable scenes and characters but in my cartoon form. The villain 'Khan' was brought back for 1982's The Wrath of Khan, the second chapter from the series. Ricardo Montalbán reprised his role as the genetically engineered über-human bent on avenging himself on Kirk for reasons explained if you watch the movie, obviously. My interpretation is loosely based on one of the original posters for the film. I added the stolen starship Reliant charging as it appears in a scene where the bridge and other areas were enhanced with a red glow for dramatic effect.
