An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Chapter #7 (The Phantom Killer) One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Fighting Devil Dogs, the 1938 Robert M. Beche, William Witney, & John English Marines military science fiction (sci-fi) serial ("A Republic serial in 12 lightning episodes") starring Lee Powell, Bruce Bennett (billed as "Herman Brix"), Eleanor Stewart, Montagu Love, Hugh Sothern, and Lester Dorr (uncredited as the main villain, The Lightning). Note that, as often happened with 1930s and 1940s serials, this one was edited into a "feature version" (a condensed version of all the chapters, eliminating unnecessary subplots, and bringing it down to feature length). However, in this case, the feature version was not created and released until six years after the serial was released, so we list it as a separate entry, because of the long delay between the two.

Important Added Info: Note that this poster features a great image of The Lightning (the main villain of this serial), who only appears in a handful of lobby cards and posters. He was played by Lester Dorr, who was not given any screen credit as that was part of the suspense of the publicity campaign. Dorr mostly had small parts in films and early TV, and he was one of the founding members of The Screen Actors Guild, which was an organization that the Studios were greatly opposed to!

The poster had small paper loss at the top two crossfolds and a few small tears and tiny areas of paper loss on parts of some folds, with pinholes and stains around the edges and tiny paper loss in the center of the top border. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above.
