Artist: Boris Vallejo Important Added Info: Note that many people feel the artwork on this re-issue poster is superior to that from the original release. Note also that this poster has something VERY UNUSUAL about it. What is that? The person who owned it had a home movie theater, and they had a large collection of one-sheets, and they would display them when they showed the movie, and they needed a way to protect the posters while they were being handled, and keep them from being damaged while on display. He came up with a solution that we have not seen before. He had a thin sheet of laminate plastic placed over the BACK of each one-sheet, BUT NOT ON THE FRONT (as is normally done when laminating the poster). If you have ever seen "laminated" posters, they are often covered with very thick plastic material on both sides. THE LAMINATE PLASTIC USED HERE IS A THIN MATERIAL. While we have never seen this before, it actually works well! The front of the poster is no different then it was, but the plastic on the back greatly helps protect the poster from tears or other defects (this is the same principle that was used decades ago when they would kraftback posters moving from theater to theater, and as with kraftbacking, the posters with this laminate plastic on the back CAN be folded as normal, as this poster was). WE DON'T KNOW HOW EASY OR HARD IT WOULD BE TO REMOVE THE PLASTIC FROM THE BACK (although there are a few where the plastic is separating, indicating it surely CAN be done), but the buyer of this poster will have two options. They can either keep the poster exactly as is, and if they display it, no one will even know about the plastic laminate on the back, or they can have a restorer remove it. Either way, DO NOT BID ON THIS POSTER UNLESS YOU CAN ACCEPT THAT IT HAS THIS ON THE BACK (but NOT on the front). Condition: good. The poster has laminate plastic on the back only (see above: but NOT on the front). Otherwise the poster has some fairly minor wear (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
