Auction History Result 2n943 WASP WOMAN one-sheet '59 most classic art of Roger Corman's lusting human-headed insect queen! Date Sold 10/28/2008 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) The Wasp Woman, the classic 1959 Roger Corman giant bug insect science fiction (sci-fi) thriller ("A beautiful woman by day - a lusting queen wasp by night!"; "See: Strong men forced to satisfy a passion no human knows!"; "See: A beautiful woman by day - a lusting queen wasp by night!"; "Written by Leo Gordon") starring Susan Cabot (in the title role as the wasp woman), Fred Eisley, Barboura Morris, William Roerick, and Michael Mark. Note that this movie was guilty of one of the most blatant cases of "false advertising" in an industry filled with unfulfilled promises! The posters and the title card for this movie shows a giant wasp with a woman's head, while the movie delivers a normal-sized woman with a really fake looking wasp head! Also, note that Susan Cabot had a very interesting life, as you can see by clicking on her biography link above. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good. There is an uneven area of paper loss in the left of the "P" of "WASP" in the title. There is a circular water stain in the bottom left, in the bottom of the credits, and extending down to the bottom border. There is another matching brown stain in the left of the top border. It extends into the dark background area, but it is not at all noticeable from the front. There are some tiny pinholes and some faint water stains around the edges of the poster. There is a diagonal crease in the upper left corner and the bottom 3" of the poster was folded back at one time. Clearly, this poster has many defects, but it is very fortunate that almost none of them affect the wonderful art at all, and the poster will only require restoration of the border defects, and in the "P" of "WASP" in the title. After linenbacking by a talented restorer, this poster will look fantastic, and there will truly be only a small amount of paint restoration! Learn More about condition grades
