Draw articles on cover of Utopian novel (9)
I believe the answer is:
unsheathe
'draw' is the definition.
(unsheathing is a kind of drawing)
'articles on cover of utopian novel' is the wordplay.
'articles' becomes 'a the' ('a' and 'the', indefinite and definite articles).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'cover of' means to remove the middle letters (only the letters which cover the word).
'novel' becomes 'she' (novel by H Rider Haggard).
'utopian' with its centre removed is 'un'.
'un'+'she'='unshe'
'athe' after 'unshe' is 'UNSHEATHE'.
(Other definitions for unsheathe that I've seen before include "Draw (a sword)" , "Draw from a scabbard" , "Uncover (a sword)" , "Take out of scabbard" , "Draw out (a knife)" .)
