The fans are still talking about it... but the 'Invisible Man' was a piker compared to the astounding Luminous Man"; "Not a horror picture! But a revelation in thrills and terrific suspense"; a totally bizarre movie about a scientist who goes to Africa with an expedition and finds a meteorite that emits Radium X rays, which he touches, and he absorbs a near-fatal dose, which means that he then kills anyone he touches; another scientist discovers a somewhat cure, which requires he take daily injections of a powerful drug, which slowly turns him mad, and meanwhile, the second scientist starts taking credit for the discovery, which, in controlled doses, can heal blind people!) starring Boris Karloff ("as the luminous man"), Bela Lugosi, Frances Drake, Frank Lawton, Walter Kingsford, Beulah Bondi, Violet Kemble Cooper, Nydia Westman, and Etta McDaniel (Hattie McDaniel's sister!)

Important Added Info: Note that the trade ad offered here was removed from an exhibitor magazine (but we don't know which one, although it surely came out just when this movie was coming out) and then it was paperbacked. The back of each page had ads for other movies, but we can't read them because the ad was paperbacked, and fortunately, they barely show through to the front, except in the light colored areas. It can be framed to create a very affordable first release display from this movie! Note that this trade ad was backed onto a thin enough paper that it can be rolled, even though it is paperbacked. So depending on what the winning bidder has to combine it with, it can either go in a larger flat package or a tube. The buyer should tell us which when they pay for the item. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Prior to paperbacking, the 2-page trade ad was removed from an exhibitor magazine and paperbacked side by side. There is bleed-through from what was printed on the back in the light colored areas, including Karloff's face and hands (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
