An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Invaders From Mars, the classic 1953 William Cameron Menzies (who also did the production design) science fiction (sci-fi) alien thriller ("From Out of Space.... Came hordes of green monsters!!"; "The Martians are coming!"; "Photographed in Color") starring Helena Carter, Arthur Franz, Jimmy Hunt, Leif Erickson, Hillary Brooke, Morris Ankrum, Max Wagner, Bill Phipps, Milburn Stone, and Janine Perreau 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 there is a 1955 re-release one-sheet for this classic sci-fi movie that looks very similar to the original release poster, and is often mistakenly sold as original (to complicate matters, the re-release has the original 1953 NSS number in the bottom right corner, but has a 1955 date in the bottom left corner, but that wrong NSS number increases the chances of it being mistakenly sold as an original). The poster offered here is 100% surely the original 1953 poster! Condition: very good. The poster had an area of paper loss the size of a head of a pencil eraser at the top crossfold. There was separation in the 2" to the left of that crossfold and 1" to the right. There was some separation down parts of the vertical foldline. There were creases, smudges, many pinholes, and some tears around the edges of the poster. There was a censor stamp in the bottom right corner. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but the restorer did not paint over the censor stamp at bottom right, and did not put massive effort into touching up the defects in the blank borders (surely rightfully assuming that the blank borders will not show when the poster is framed). If the censor stamp matters to the new owner of the poster, it is easy for any talented restorer to painted it over without re-backing it. Learn More about condition grades
