Lots of energy in the composition, very nice work...

I really like this but I wish it said Star Trek in big letters and Arena in small. Deal-breaker... Womp womp.

Yeah, really like the artwork but you're absolutely right. One of my favorite episodes when I was a kid.

Right? I keep looking at this and overall its really great. One of my favorite episodes, the likenesses are on point, you even have the Enterprise in there, it's probably the best Star Trek print since Olly's Tribbles....but why does it have the episode title in huge letters, it should definitely be Star Trek as the title focus. I mean hes got the episode # in small letters, shouldn't the title be matched to that.....sigh.

I'm completely cool with the large Arena text....This is an iconic episode, probably the most famous of the original ST series. This poster pops, lots of action and I like how the poster matches the gold uniforms...It screams 1960's. I like and dislike the size (20x36) at the same time......45 bucks I'm buying

I don't know about the most famous, it was good episode, I personally enjoy The Doomsday Machine & Mirror Mirror. This piece is nice, but I would agree with others that it should have been Star Trek in Large Letters and the rest - Title and all - as smaller text. Hope it goes well, and people who want it get it.

In my mondo Newsletter, I saw this print is going up for sale tomorrow.

Where else was this released??? It's a great looking print!

I think Mondo's the only one releasing it other than maybe a small AP release. 175 of these it'll go quick and might go up in price seeing that there's so few prints and so many Trek fans.

Great work.

I am brand new to art prints..Is there anyway to know when the release will be or a time frame? Like most, I work, so I can't sit at the computer all day. Thanks!

Mondo just tweeted that Olly Moss art directed this!

I know but what the hell does that mean. He influenced the layout?

I think so. The layout reminded me of Olly's Lost print:

Why mention this?

Just gives the impression that another artist needed to step in to get it to the finish line.

Art direction by another 'popular artist' need not be publicized as a selling point, imo.
