WHO can save you now?"; "Screenplay by Lorenzo Semple, Jr."; "Produced by Dino De Laurentiis"; based on the classic 1930s comic strip created by Alex Raymond; featuring rock "Music by Queen") starring Sam J.

Artist: Philip Castle Important Added Info: Note that this is a poster we have seen only a few times before (very rare for posters of the 1980s on)! There are two different styles of this foil advance, one horizontal and one vertical. Both posters have artwork by Philip Castle, but the art is laid out differently on each poster, and there is a different border design to each poster. Also, the horizontal one is printed on a heavy stock with a glossy foil-like printing. One collector tells us that he attended a trade show where Universal Studios was exhibiting, and they gave out samples of the horizontal poster. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this is an advance special poster (note the "Coming for Christmas '80 from Universal" at the bottom of the poster). Finally, note that this poster is printed on a much heavier than normal paper stock (we don't know why, but it is nice!). Condition: good to very good. The left 1" of the poster was folded back at one time and there are some small creases and scuffs around the edges of the poster (mostly in the black border). The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition and if one framed the poster the creases around the edges would not be very noticeable and the poster would display well.
