Auction History Result 5h0368 WASP WOMAN linen 3sh 1959 Roger Corman, great art of lusting human-headed insect queen, rare! Date Sold 10/29/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81" [104 x 206 cm]) (Learn More) The Wasp Woman, the classic 1959 Roger Corman giant bug insect science fiction (sci-fi) thriller ("A beautiful woman by day - a lusting queen wasp by night!"; "See: Strong men forced to satisfy a passion no human knows!"; "See: A beautiful woman by day - a lusting queen wasp by night!"; "Written by Leo Gordon") starring Susan Cabot (in the title role as the wasp woman), Fred Eisley, Barboura Morris, William Roerick, and Michael Mark. Note that this movie was guilty of one of the most blatant cases of "false advertising" in an industry filled with unfulfilled promises! The posters and the title card for this movie shows a giant wasp with a woman's head, while the movie delivers a normal-sized woman with a really fake looking wasp head! Also, note that Susan Cabot had a very interesting life, as you can see by clicking on her biography link above. 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 we have only previously auctioned four examples of this three-sheet in all our years of auctioning, and the last one sold for $2,128! The oldest example, from 22 years ago, was an incomplete three-sheet that was missing the bottom credits section. Now we have been consigned this poster, which, like that long ago one, was missing the bottom credits section. The top section was in pretty nice condition, and a really expert restorer recreated the missing bottom section (see below for condition details). Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept that the bottom text area was recreated (but realize that it will display really well on the new owner's wall). What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. AS NOTED ABOVE, THE BOTTOM CREDITS SECTION WAS RECREATED! The top two-thirds of the poster was in pretty nice condition prior to linenbacking, and only needed some touch up on the folds. The bottom section was recreated by a top restorer and the poster displays well, but bear the above in mind before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
