If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. Note that this poster has never been folded! Most insert posters were folded twice horizontally right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded copy of most inserts, especially from before 1970! 3" tear in the middle of the title at upper center extending through the bottom of the "DE" and up through the "N" in "FORBIDDEN"; 6" tear in the middle right that extends into the robot's leg; 4" jagged tear (with small paper loss in the left edge) in the middle left of the poster that slightly extends into the robot's left leg; two 1 1/2" tears in the lower left edge of the poster that extend into the yellow background of the credits area; tiny paper loss in both bottom corners; all of the above defects have been repaired with tape from the back and with similar colored pieces of paper in those areas with paper loss light smudges and scuffs throughout the poster (most noticeable in the dark areas of the robot and in the yellow area at bottom); pair of staple holes in the middle of the top blank border; minor creases and smudges around the edges of the poster The poster is in better condition than the above makes it sound! While there are clear defects, they are mostly in the borders (and most of the creases and smudges are not that noticeable or distracting). However, please do NOT bid on this poster unless you can accept its minor defects or are willing to have the poster restored. Learn More about condition grades
