Auction History Result 3k869 TERRY-TOONS 1sh '42 Mighty Mouse & Gandy Goose in The Mouse of Tomorrow! Date Sold 12/3/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Terry-toons, a 1942 stock poster used by theaters that show Terrytoons. What makes this Terry-Toons stock poster so cool is that it has the very first incarnation of Mighty Mouse, when he was still called Super Mouse. Super Mouse was created in 1942 (as a parody of Superman, who had started in 1938) and they changed his name because of a character of the same name that started at the same time in Coo Coo Comics. This poster also shows Gandy Goose, forgotten today, but a big Terry-Toon cartoon character in his day! Note that Paul Terry created a different "stock" poster for each year from 1937 through 1942. Each would have a completely different great image, showing many of his top cartoon stars of that year, and there would be a blank center area in each poster. After the posters were initially printed, they would overprint a group of the posters with a title of a particular cartoon from that year. 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 this stock poster is advertising the 1942 cartoon "The Mouse of Tomorrow" and that title has been overprinted in the white square in the center of the poster. Condition: fair to good. There is blue marker writing on the back that slightly bleeds through to the front at lower center (along the lower vertical fold), visible in a few areas of the artwork. There is approximately 4" of separation in the lower vertical fold which ends in a 2" diagonal tear in the lower edge of the artwork, and there are tears of 2" or less around the edges (the tear in the upper left edge was once repaired with tape from the back that has now bled through to the front.) There are some creases and tattering mostly along the edges and foldlines. There is much separation in the upper vertical fold that has been repaired with masking tape from the back, and there is over 2" of separation in the lower crossfold. The poster was folded in half an extra time resulting in a light vertical foldline at left and right. Learn More about condition grades
