Note that fantasy artist H.R. Giger did the wonderful art that was used to create the alien and the alien planet, but his art was not used on any of the regular posters, only on special prints created after the movie became a hit! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a special commercial set of color prints that was "Published by Turn-Point Publishing Corp." at the time of the film's release in 1979. A VERY longtime dealer tells us "These were produced for commercial sale (as was the chestburster version)when the film was released. They were sold through comic and SF shops worldwide and were wholesaled through various comics wholesalers. They were never used in conjunction with the exhibition of the film. I ordered and sold stacks of these when I was managing the London Film and TV branch of Forbidden Planet." Condition: very good to fine. The commercial prints are in quite nice condition!
